What color is Benjamin Moore Sand Dollar?
Benjamin Moore Sand Dollar OC-71 is a pale off-white with a soft beige cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its high lightness makes it especially useful for brightening walls in living rooms, bedrooms, and open hallways without the sharper look of pure white. In daylight, Sand Dollar appears airy and lightly warmed; under evening lamps, its subtle cream-beige character becomes more noticeable. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, woven textures, and muted taupe or clay accents for a grounded interior palette. It is best suited to broad wall surfaces and ceilings, where its quiet depth can create a gently cohesive backdrop.
LRV of Sand Dollar
Sand Dollar has an LRV of 81.95% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 81.95%, 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.
