La Paloma Gray vs Treron

La Paloma GrayBenjamin MoorevsTreronFarrow & BallΔE 17.6Distinct difference

La Paloma Gray (Benjamin Moore) and Treron (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. The 21-point LRV gap — 46 for La Paloma Gray vs 25 for Treron — means La Paloma Gray will open up a space more effectively. Where La Paloma Gray leans red, Treron reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 17.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

La Paloma Gray vs Treron in Real Spaces

Bathroom

Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. La Paloma Gray returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

House

A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. La Paloma Gray returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Kitchen Cabinets

Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. La Paloma Gray returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
