What color is Benjamin Moore Sandy Valley?
Benjamin Moore Sandy Valley 1112 is a medium warm tan with a muted golden-brown cast. Its #BF9765 color value gives it enough depth to read clearly on walls without becoming overly dark, while the softened saturation keeps the look grounded rather than bright. In direct daylight, Sandy Valley can show more of its sun-warmed beige and ochre notes; under warmer evening lighting, it may appear deeper and more caramel-toned. It suits living rooms, dining areas, and entryways where natural wood, woven fibers, aged brass, or cognac leather are part of the palette. Pair this shade with creamy off-whites, soft charcoal, olive-leaning greens, or deep brown accents for contrast.

LRV of Sandy Valley
Sandy Valley has an LRV of 33.09% and refers to Medium 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 33.09%, 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.
