What color is Benjamin Moore Cancun Sand?
Benjamin Moore Cancun Sand 2016-70 is a very light, creamy off-white with a soft sandy-yellow cast. Its high brightness keeps it from reading heavy, while the warm undertone gives white walls a gentler, less stark appearance. In sunny rooms, Cancun Sand can look nearly ivory; under lower or warmer artificial light, its buttery beige notes become more apparent. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a pale neutral is wanted without the coolness of a gray-based white. Pair it with natural oak, woven fibers, warm white trim, and muted clay or olive accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Cancun Sand
Cancun Sand has an LRV of 86.37% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 86.37%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
