Sandy Shores vs Decor White

Sandy Shores (Benjamin Moore) and Decor White (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Sandy Shores reads as beige, while Decor White reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 4-point LRV gap — 79 for Decor White vs 76 for Sandy Shores — means Decor White will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 1.3 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
