Sun Splashed vs Bancha
Sun Splashed (Cloverdale Paint) and Bancha (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Sun Splashed reads as beige, while Bancha reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 58-point LRV gap — 71 for Sun Splashed vs 13 for Bancha — means Sun Splashed will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 47.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Sun Splashed vs Bancha in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Seeing Sun Splashed and Bancha in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Sun Splashed reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Bancha.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Sun Splashed returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Sun Splashed returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The LRV gap is large enough that Sun Splashed will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Bancha would.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Sun Splashed returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Sun Splashed vs Bancha Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Sun Splashed on one side and Bancha on the other.
Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
