Soft Sand

In the High-end Paint range, Soft Sand reads as honeyed and grounding, built on an undertone with heat in it and wheat pigment. Pairs naturally with rattan, jute, warm timbers and bouclé. The natural home for Soft Sand is living rooms with mixed daylight — and increasingly kitchen islands and splashbacks. The kind of off-white that stops a room feeling clinical. Borrows its character from Mediterranean interiors and re-reads them in a modern context.

FAQs about Soft Sand

Questions clients ask about this shade

Does Soft Sand hold up in north-facing rooms?+

Yes — Soft Sand carries enough warm pigment that it doesn't go flat or grey in cool daylight. The wheat undertone is what stops it bleaching out.

What sheen options come in Soft Sand?+

Soft Sand is tinted into your choice of dead-matt, soft eggshell or low-sheen satin. For rooms with high handling — hallways, kitchens — we'd usually recommend eggshell.

What does Soft Sand pair with from your range?+

We most often pair Soft Sand with the three closest shades in its family — see the pairings panel below. Beyond that, sits comfortably next to terracotta floors, oak joinery and unbleached cotton.
