Storm vs Treron
Storm (Benjamin Moore) and Treron (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Storm belongs to the grey family and Treron to the greige-grey family. The 11-point LRV gap — 36 for Storm vs 25 for Treron — means Storm will open up a space more effectively. Where Storm leans green, Treron reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 13.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Storm vs Treron in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Seeing Storm and Treron in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
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. Storm reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Treron.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Storm returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Storm returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. Storm returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Storm vs Treron Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Storm 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.
