Lavender Sand

P001

Lavender Sand is a muted gray-taupe with a faint mauve undertone. The color is subtle. It can work in bedrooms, hallways, or a quiet sitting room where beige feels too warm and gray feels too plain.

Beside white trim, the lavender side becomes easier to see. Oatmeal fabrics or smoked wood sits comfortably beside it. Avoid strong purple accents, which can pull the wall color farther into lavender.

Lavender Sand in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
