Powder Sand
There is more to Benjamin Moore Powder Sand (OC-113) than the swatch alone: its depth, undertones and setting all shape the final impression. A yellow undertone may emerge most clearly where the paint meets a cleaner white, stone surface or contrasting textile. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
