Aplomb vs Treron
Where Aplomb belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Treron is a Farrow & Ball color. Aplomb reads as grey, while Treron reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Treron (LRV 25) reflects noticeably more light than Aplomb (LRV 21), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Aplomb runs red while Treron is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 22.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
