How they read
In their own wordsSandbank SW 6052 is a warm pink-beige in Sherwin-Williams' red family, with an LRV of 40.22.
Bride to Be is a whisper of pink folded into a warm off-white. At LRV 71 it is light enough to use as a whole-room neutral, and in most light it reads as a soft, flattering beige — the blush only shows when you put it next to a true white. It is the color of the inside of a shell.
