Raccoon Hollow vs Treron
Raccoon Hollow (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 4-point LRV gap — 29 for Raccoon Hollow vs 25 for Treron — means Raccoon Hollow will open up a space more effectively. Where Raccoon Hollow leans red, Treron reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 5.8 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Raccoon Hollow vs Treron in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Raccoon Hollow and Treron are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Raccoon Hollow reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Raccoon Hollow has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The brightness difference is modest but present — Raccoon Hollow gives the walls a little more lift.

Raccoon Hollow vs Treron Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Raccoon Hollow on one side and Treron 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.
