Fennel Seed vs Treron
Fennel Seed (Benjamin Moore) and Treron (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Fennel Seed reads as beige, while Treron reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 33-point LRV gap — 58 for Fennel Seed vs 25 for Treron — means Fennel Seed will open up a space more effectively. Where Fennel Seed leans red, Treron reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 29.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Fennel Seed 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.
