Amaryllis vs Bancha

AmaryllisBenjamin MoorevsBanchaFarrow & BallΔE 35.8Very different colors

Amaryllis (Benjamin Moore) and Bancha (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Amaryllis belongs to the pink-red family and Bancha to the beige-greige family. The 23-point LRV gap — 37 for Amaryllis vs 13 for Bancha — means Amaryllis will open up a space more effectively. Where Amaryllis leans red, Bancha reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 35.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
