Sepia Tan vs Treron
Where Sepia Tan belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Treron is a Farrow & Ball color. Sepia Tan reads as beige, while Treron reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Sepia Tan (LRV 51) reflects noticeably more light than Treron (LRV 25), a difference of 27 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sepia Tan runs red while Treron is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 25.7, the contrast is hard to miss.
