Asphalt vs Treron
Asphalt is a Benjamin Moore color while Treron comes from Farrow & Ball. Asphalt reads as grey, while Treron reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 25 vs 21, Treron will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Asphalt's yellow character against Treron's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 8.7, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Asphalt vs Treron in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Asphalt and Treron are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Treron has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
House
At full exterior scale, the difference between these two colors becomes much easier to judge than from a small chip. The brightness difference is modest but present — Treron gives the walls a little more lift.

Asphalt vs Treron Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Asphalt on one side and Treron 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.
