About Serengeti Sand
Serengeti Sand (2164-40) is a deep, medium-strength beige from Benjamin Moore that leans peach. With an LRV of 30, Serengeti 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 Serengeti 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 bedrooms, offices, accent walls and kitchen cabinets. It's very close to Chadwick Brown (1160); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
