What color is Sherwin Williams Sand Dollar?

Sherwin Williams Sand Dollar SW 6099 is a light, muted beige with a warm tan base and a soft peachy cast. Its low saturation keeps it gentle rather than yellow, making it read as a quiet neutral on broad wall surfaces. In warm afternoon light, Sand Dollar can appear slightly richer and more buff-colored, while cooler daylight brings out its pale beige side. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways paired with creamy whites, weathered oak, linen upholstery, and brushed brass. For contrast, use this shade alongside charcoal, deep olive, or earthy brown accents.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 57.61%, 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.
