Sunswept Sand

8003-16C

Sunswept Sand is a warm tan with a peach clay undertone. It feels sunlit rather than gray. This color can warm living rooms, halls, and bedrooms that have cream trim or wood furniture.

Because it sits near the middle of the scale, it will show as a real wall color. Pair it with limestone, woven shades, or muted navy accents.
