The 4-point LRV gap — 18 for Arrowhead vs 13 for Bancha — means Arrowhead will open up a space more effectively. Where Arrowhead leans red, Bancha reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 13.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Arrowhead 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.
