How Sand behaves on a wall

Our estimate, worked out from the hex colour, puts the light reflectance value of this Jotun shade at about 56.5; Jotun's own figure may differ. At an estimated LRV of 56.5 this is a light shade that still carries colour rather than reading as off-white. It gives back most of the light in the room, which suits north-facing walls that need the help. For trim that reads as a clear edge rather than a smudge, aim about 30 LRV points away in either direction — under LRV 27 or over LRV 87. With 27 points between its strongest and weakest channel it holds a readable brown cast, so it will not flatten into a neutral once it is on four walls. Order by the code, not the name, and put a test patch on the wall before you commit — a screen cannot show you how this shade behaves in your own light.
