What color is Benjamin Moore White Sand?
Benjamin Moore White Sand OC-10 is a light, muted off-white with a warm beige cast drawn from its softly creamy #E0D8C6 color value. It sits well away from stark white, carrying enough depth to read clearly against crisp white trim without feeling dark on broad walls. In daylight, White Sand can appear like a pale sandy neutral, while warmer evening lighting brings its creamier side forward. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a gentle backdrop is wanted, especially alongside natural oak, linen upholstery, woven textures, and brushed brass. Pair it with clean white accents for definition or deeper taupe and charcoal details for contrast.

What are Benjamin Moore White Sand undertones?
White Sand OC-10 reads as a light, very muted beige with a soft off-white character and low color intensity. In the supplied digital sample, its slight bias leans yellow, though that warmth is subtle rather than strongly golden. Benjamin Moore describes it as a “muted, easygoing beige,” which fits its visible beige main family rather than suggesting a distinct hidden undertone. Warm artificial light may bring out its gentle yellow-beige cast, while cool daylight can make it appear quieter and closer to a neutral off-white.

LRV of White Sand
White Sand has an LRV of 66.95% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 66.95%, 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.
