WoolCloverdale PaintvsTreronFarrow & BallΔE 27.5Very different colors

Where Wool belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Treron is a Farrow & Ball color. Wool reads as beige-greige, while Treron reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins.

With a ΔE of 27.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Wool vs Treron in Real Spaces

5 real rooms side by side. Seeing Wool 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 Wool 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. Wool 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. Wool returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Bathroom

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.
