Interface Tan vs Sashay Sand
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Interface Tan reads as beige-greige, while Sashay Sand reads as beige-pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Sashay Sand (LRV 49) reflects noticeably more light than Interface Tan (LRV 40), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 6.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Interface Tan vs Sashay Sand in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Interface Tan and Sashay Sand are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Sashay Sand will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Interface Tan would.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Sashay Sand reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Interface Tan.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Sashay Sand reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Interface Tan.
Front Door
A front door is a focal point — small color differences read clearly at this concentrated scale. The LRV gap is large enough that Sashay Sand will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Interface Tan would.

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.
