The difference

Read from the numbers

Groundhog Day is the lighter of the two at LRV 51.2, 11 points above Sandbank at LRV 40.22. Both read warm. Sandbank is a red, Groundhog Day a pink. For a whole room, Groundhog Day is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Sandbank is the bolder pick.

How they read

In their own words

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

A warm pink with just enough grey to keep it adult, Groundhog Day turns afternoon light the color of the inside of a shell. Drenched across walls and ceiling it reads like aged plaster; used on a single wall it warms a room without ever announcing itself as pink.
