Sherwin Williams

Sandbank

SW 6052

Sandbank is a warm, muted pink-beige from Sherwin-Williams with clear brown and rose undertones. Its LRV of 40 places it in the mid-range for light reflectance, providing moderate depth on walls without absorbing too much light. The color leans toward a dusty clay tone and works well in bedrooms, dining rooms, and spaces with warm wood flooring or natural stone.

For coordinating colors, Sherwin-Williams Accessible Beige and Canvas Tan provide softer, lighter companions, while Urbane Bronze adds grounding depth, and Wheat Grass or Dried Thyme introduce a muted contrast.
