The tonal difference — Audubon Russet's red character against Treron's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 30.9, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

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.
Dining Room
Dining room light is typically the warmest in the house, which shifts both colors toward the red end of the spectrum compared to daylight. Treron reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
