Wrought IronCloverdale PaintvsTreronFarrow & BallΔE 31.7Very different colors

Wrought Iron is a Cloverdale Paint color while Treron comes from Farrow & Ball. Wrought Iron reads as blue-grey, while Treron reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 25 vs 6, Treron will read as the brighter of the two — a 19-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 31.7, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

5 real rooms side by side. Seeing Wrought Iron 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

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.
