How it reads
Sandbank SW 6052 is a warm pink-beige in Sherwin-Williams' red family, with an LRV of 40.22.
In the MONIOMI Design bedroom on this page, photographed by Jeanne Canto, it covers the walls of a bedroom with striped curtains, a plum velvet bed and a curved sofa.
What Sandbank is
Sandbank SW 6052 sits in Sherwin-Williams' red family, with a hex of #C3A497 and an LRV of 40.22.
It reads as a warm beige with a clear pink cast: softer than a true pink, rosier than a sand.
How it behaves in light
As a mid-tone it holds its colour in most rooms. In the moody, low-light bedroom here it turns deeper and more mauve.
We have no designer commentary on its behaviour by orientation, so sample it on the walls you plan to paint.
Where to use it
In the MONIOMI Design bedroom on this page, photographed by Jeanne Canto, Sandbank covers the walls behind striped curtains, a plum velvet bed and a curved boucle sofa.
Its warmth lets deep plum and burgundy textiles feel layered rather than heavy.
What it sits next to
Sherwin-Williams coordinates it with Gorgeous White SW 6049, Bauhaus Buff SW 7552 and Hushed Auburn SW 9080, which is also on this site from the same project.
Matchmypaintcolor lists Benjamin Moore Café Mocha 2099-50 and Farrow & Ball Templeton Pink No. 303 as near matches.
