What color is Sherwin Williams White Sand?

Sherwin Williams White Sand SW 9582 is a pale, softly warmed off-white with a faint gray-beige cast rather than a crisp, stark-white look. Its low saturation gives walls a lightly softened appearance, while the subtle warmth keeps it from reading icy. In bright daylight, White Sand can appear close to clean white; under warmer lamps, its gentle creamy-beige undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits whole-room walls, ceilings, and trim when you want a quiet tonal look instead of sharp contrast. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or muted olive for a grounded interior palette.

LRV of White Sand

White Sand has an LRV of 84.05% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all lightWhy LRV is important?

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 84.05%, 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.
