Silent SeaCloverdale PaintvsTreronFarrow & BallΔE 32.6Very different colors

Silent Sea is a Cloverdale Paint color while Treron comes from Farrow & Ball. Silent Sea reads as grey, while Treron reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 25 vs 5, Treron will read as the brighter of the two — a 20-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 32.6, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
