Greenhouse vs Treron
Where Greenhouse belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Treron is a Farrow & Ball color. Greenhouse reads as green-greige, while Treron reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Greenhouse (LRV 40) reflects noticeably more light than Treron (LRV 25), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 12.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Greenhouse vs Treron in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Seeing Greenhouse 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
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Greenhouse will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Treron would.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Greenhouse reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Treron.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Greenhouse reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Treron.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Greenhouse returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Greenhouse reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Treron.

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