Dry Sage vs Treron
Where Dry Sage belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Treron is a Farrow & Ball color. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. Dry Sage (LRV 35) reflects noticeably more light than Treron (LRV 25), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Dry Sage runs yellow while Treron is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Dry Sage vs Treron in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Dry Sage 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
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Dry Sage will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Treron 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.
