In real rooms

Every room, each color

The difference

Read from the numbers

Sandbank is the lighter of the two at LRV 40.22, 30.2 points above Cherry Cola at LRV 10. Both read warm. Both belong to the red family. For a whole room, Sandbank is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Cherry Cola is the bolder pick.

How they read

In their own words

Cherry Cola is a deep reddish brown from Dunn-Edwards' Perfect Palette accents — the color of the drink held up to the light, with burnt sienna underneath. At LRV 10 it is dark, saturated and enormously flattering to books, brass and patterned fabric.

Sandbank SW 6052 is a warm pink-beige in Sherwin-Williams' red family, with an LRV of 40.22.
