Oriental Iris vs Treron

Oriental IrisBenjamin MoorevsTreronFarrow & BallΔE 32.6Very different colors

Oriental Iris (Benjamin Moore) and Treron (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Oriental Iris reads as blue, while Treron reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 27-point LRV gap — 52 for Oriental Iris vs 25 for Treron — means Oriental Iris will open up a space more effectively. Where Oriental Iris leans blue, Treron reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 32.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

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