I think I bought the wrong color hood lol.

I don’t recall Sandalwood. The only others I recall in GMT800 are gold metallic, storm grey metallic, ultra silver metallic, grey stone metallic, and stealth grey. The lighting must have been way different between the OP’s two pics. The original pic with all the contrast the hood appears to be off of a 99-03 vehicle with 382e Pewter metallic. The OP’s vehicle appears to be 926L silver birch. Of course from pics online it’s impossible to know the hoods match especially if it has ever been reshot. I think there were like 7 variations to 382e pewter metallic over the GM family from the 90s into 2000s.

Here’s the 02 colors:https://www.automotivetouchup.com/touch-up-paint/chevrolet/2002/tahoe/
The 04 colors when silver birch was introduced:https://www.automotivetouchup.com/touch-up-paint/chevrolet/2004/tahoe/
And the 06 colors :https://www.automotivetouchup.com/touch-up-paint/chevrolet/2006/tahoe/

ive seen a few of the sandalwood metallics around here, they’re a darker grey but similar to my pewter. Kind of the opposite direction from the silver birch.

Went to the junkyard and picked this hood up in near perfect condition. My old hood had no clear coat at all.

Looks like I got the wrong color lol
