"Sandy" = yellowish red has never occurred to me! Written by Cathy Allen (10/24/2008 11:00 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, I don't think it is blonde., penned by Rachel G

Being born and living in San Diego all my life, I know that "sand" is yellowish white -- at least it is in San Diego. I'm quite surprised at the OED... live and learn!

This is a very good explanation, thank you, ladies.
