Spearmint Ice vs Bancha

Spearmint IceBenjamin MoorevsBanchaFarrow & BallΔE 50.1Very different colors

Spearmint Ice (Benjamin Moore) and Bancha (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Spearmint Ice reads as green, while Bancha reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 65-point LRV gap — 78 for Spearmint Ice vs 13 for Bancha — means Spearmint Ice will open up a space more effectively. Where Spearmint Ice leans green, Bancha reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 50.1 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. 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.
