Loft Space vs Bancha

Loft SpaceBehrvsBanchaFarrow & BallΔE 43.6Very different colors

Loft Space is a Behr color while Bancha comes from Farrow & Ball. Loft Space reads as grey, while Bancha reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 61 vs 13, Loft Space will read as the brighter of the two — a 48-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Loft Space's green character against Bancha's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 43.6, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Bedroom

Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Loft Space will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Bancha would.

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.
