Picket Fence vs Bancha
Where Picket Fence belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Bancha is a Farrow & Ball color. Picket Fence reads as greige-grey, while Bancha reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Picket Fence (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than Bancha (LRV 13), a difference of 50 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Picket Fence runs red while Bancha is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 42.9, 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. 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.
