Golden Sandcastle - No. 229

Golden Sandcastle is the color of being eight years old and convinced you’re an architect.

It’s that warm, sandy shade you got on your knees, your elbows, your cheeks, and somehow also in your sandwich. The kind of color that smells like sun cream, salt water, and the quiet confidence of a kid who thinks this sandcastle will obviously survive the tide.

On paper it’s soft, warm, and grounded. A golden beige with just enough yellow in it to feel alive, not flat. It’s perfect for skin tones, warm highlights, sunlit paper, dunes, wheat fields, old stone walls, and anything that needs that “summer light hitting dust” vibe.

And honestly, it’s one of those colors that doesn’t scream for attention, but it makes everything around it look better. Like the friend who brought snacks and a calm mood to the chaos.

Lightfastness 6/6 (Excellent)
