Desert sand is a very light and weakly saturated reddish yellow hue that resembles the color of desert sand. Many regard the color as a deeper tone of beige. Desert sand, like beige, risks being boring, but with the right colors by its side, it can actually be inspiring, relaxing and beautiful. Desert sand makes for a great base color. Use it on your walls in your living room, bedrooms and hallways. Paint your kitchen cabinets this versatile color and carry the hue throughout your home via desert sand-colored tiles. If you want to use the color in a less permanent fashion, purchase desert sand furniture and frame your windows with beige-colored drapes. Desert sand needs vibrant colors to help it come alive. Teals, warm yellows and yellow oranges, layered atop desert sand, work to create an environment that brings to mind the Mojave desert. Use the hue with reds, plum, gray, oranges and blacks to create a space that shares the same color scheme as a majestic sunset. Desert sand is always helpful in achieving a southwestern style. Use it with sage, deep green, plum and terracotta for true desert décor. Pair it with warm yellows, brown-pink and lively blues to create a dynamic, south-of-the-border vibe. Desert sand, being almost beige in color, runs the risk of being boring. However, layer it with the right colors and you can create a space that is truly mesmerizing.
