Stone Mill vs Treron

Stone MillCloverdale PaintvsTreronFarrow & BallΔE 7.0Noticeable difference

Stone Mill (Cloverdale Paint) and Treron (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. The 7-point LRV gap — 31 for Stone Mill vs 25 for Treron — means Stone Mill will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 7.0 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Stone Mill vs Treron in Real Spaces

5 real rooms side by side. Stone Mill and Treron are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

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. Stone Mill reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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. Stone Mill has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Kitchen

Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Stone Mill has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Dining Room

Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The brightness difference is modest but present — Stone Mill gives the walls a little more lift.

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.
