Thunder vs Treron
Thunder is a Benjamin Moore color while Treron comes from Farrow & Ball. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. At LRV 48 vs 25, Thunder will read as the brighter of the two — a 23-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Thunder's red character against Treron's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 18.5, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Thunder vs Treron in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Seeing Thunder 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
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Thunder returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Thunder will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Treron would.
Kitchen
Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The LRV gap is large enough that Thunder will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Treron would.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Thunder will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Treron would.
