Par Four vs Bancha
Par Four (Benjamin Moore) and Bancha (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Par Four reads as green-yellow, while Bancha reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 51-point LRV gap — 64 for Par Four vs 13 for Bancha — means Par Four will open up a space more effectively. Where Par Four leans green, Bancha reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 43.2 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 Par Four on one side and Bancha 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.
