Mountain AirBenjamin MoorevsTreronFarrow & BallΔE 21.1Distinct difference

Mountain Air (LRV 53) reflects noticeably more light than Treron (LRV 25), a difference of 28 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 21.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
