About Red Point Sand
Red Point Sand (CC-128) is a deep, medium-strength red from Benjamin Moore that leans pink. With an LRV of 20, Red Point Sand absorbs more light than it reflects, so it works best in rooms with good natural light or where you want a cozier feel.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Red Point Sand's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for dining rooms, accent walls, front doors and libraries. It's very close to Baked Terra Cotta (1202); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
