Valspar

Sand Storm

2004-10B

Valspar Sand Storm is a balanced warm greige carrying a beige-pink undertone. It settles down fast. This can cover a main living area, bedroom, or hallway without demanding attention.

Its warmth pairs well with oak, cream textiles, and matte black hardware. In cool daylight, the gray side becomes more obvious. Avoid very yellow trim whites, which can push the wall slightly rosy.

Sand Storm 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.
