The difference

Read from the numbers

Honey Hut is the lighter of the two at LRV 61.51, 21.3 points above Sandbank at LRV 40.22. Both read warm. Sandbank is a red, Honey Hut a pink. For a whole room, Honey Hut 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.

Honey Hut is a pale dusty pink with enough grey-beige in it to stay sophisticated. At LRV 62 it is light and airy, but it is unmistakably pink — more so than Bride to Be, less so than Pink Cloud. It has the softness of a powder puff and none of the sugar.
