What color is Dulux Sandstone?
Dulux Sandstone is a light, muted beige with a clear warm cast and soft sandy-tan undertones. Its low-contrast, gently earthy appearance keeps walls from looking stark while still feeling bright enough for living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms. In daylight, the color reads as a pale natural neutral; under warmer evening lighting, its beige warmth becomes more noticeable. Pair it with chalky whites, warm greige, aged brass, oak, linen, and woven natural fibres for a grounded, layered interior. Sandstone is especially effective across larger wall areas, where its subtle depth can soften clean-lined furniture and darker wood details.

LRV of Sandstone
Sandstone has an LRV of 60% 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 60%, 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.
