The difference

Read from the numbers

Sandbank is the lighter of the two at LRV 40.22, 1.5 points above Rosy Tan at LRV 38.68. Both read warm. Sandbank is a red, Rosy Tan a pink. For a whole room, Sandbank is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Rosy Tan 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.

Rosy Tan is exactly what the name promises: a dusty pink built on a tan base, so it never reads sweet. Benjamin Moore describes it as 'a powdery blush', and on the wall it has the softness of old plaster.
