About this color

Sandstone — Sandstone shares the warm, pale tone of dry beach sand, giving it its name. It belongs to the Yelow family: a medium-toned, moderately saturated tone with hex code #C9AE74 and RGB values of 201, 174, 116. Its dominant channel values give it a warm undertone that reads as moderately saturated rather than flat. Sandstone pairs well with complementary tones from the opposite side of the color wheel and works nicely in graphic design projects. Nearest neighbors: tangerine.
