Have you been looking for that perfect "not pink" pink color? Meet Sherwin Williams Likeable Sand (SW 6058). It’s a soft, pinky-beige color that adds a cozy, bohemian feel to any room without feeling overwhelming. I immediately think of how perfect this color would be for an office, dining room, reading nook or bedroom, especially a kids room or nursery.

Let's take a deeper look.

Undertones & Lighting

Likeable Sand is a warm neutral with subtle pink undertones. Now, don’t worry; It’s not too pink. Like I mentioned above, it's one of those not pink pink colors that can really go either way. In bright natural light, you might notice a slight rosy hue, while in dimmer spaces, it reads more beige. This means it adapts beautifully to different settings. To make sure it works for your space, I always suggest testing it with a peel-and-stick sample before diving into a full paint job - grab one here .

HOLIDAY DECOR ACCENTS

Likeable Sand is the perfect shade of blush, which to me makes a wonderful Christmas accent color. It pairs so well with muted warm golds and reds along with both olive and jewel tone greens. Mix in some wood tones and winter whites and you've got a chic palette for your holiday decor. Check out some of my favorite decor pieces this holiday season to incorporate this color into the mix:

What Finishes and Materials Compliment Likeable Sand?

This color craves natural elements - from raw wood tones, natural brass finishes, classic feeling tile and textured fabrics.

Wood Tones: Think light oak, warm walnut, or even deep espresso finishes. Just steer clear of gray washed tones.

Metals: Warm brass or antique bronze fixtures add to the cozy feel. How about some leather, too?

Rugs: Neutral colors with chunky textures or patterns would be best against a deep wood floor, but don't be afraid to add a little color - muted blues, greens and blacks would work beautifully:

Furniture: You can be as adventurous or as safe with colors here. If you're going darker with your furniture, keep it lighter with your textiles - and vice versa. Textiles being your area rugs, throw blankets, throw pillows, drapes, etc.

Design styles that welcome this color: I see this color working well with organic modern, california coastal, feminine, country chic, boho/southwest, modern spanish revival, beachside bungalow.

Exterior Use: Likeable Sand is also a fantastic choice for home exteriors! It’s especially perfect for a coastal cottage vibe. Use this as a siding color and pair it with slightly warm white trim and a soft blue or seafoam green front door like SW Tranquil Aqua for that breezy, beachy feel. For a more subtle approach, use Likeable Sand as the front door color on a more bright and neutral home.
