Valspar

Packed Sand

M132

Packed Sand is a muted greige-tan with a soft brown undertone. The mood feels practical and warm. Use it for living rooms or bedrooms when gray feels too cool but beige feels too yellow.

White trim gives the shade a quiet contrast. Warm wood blends smoothly. In north light, it can look flatter and more gray, so sample near the room's largest shadow.

Packed 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
