Pavilion Tan vs Bancha

Pavilion TanCloverdale PaintvsBanchaFarrow & BallΔE 26.6Very different colors

Pavilion Tan (Cloverdale Paint) and Bancha (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. The 19-point LRV gap — 32 for Pavilion Tan vs 13 for Bancha — means Pavilion Tan will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 26.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Pavilion Tan vs Bancha in Real Spaces

5 real rooms side by side. Seeing Pavilion Tan and Bancha 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. Pavilion Tan reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Bancha.

Bedroom

Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Pavilion Tan returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Kitchen

Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Pavilion Tan returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Dining Room

Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The LRV gap is large enough that Pavilion Tan will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Bancha would.

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. Pavilion Tan returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
