Green Ivy vs Treron

Green IvyDuluxvsTreronFarrow & BallΔE 17.3Distinct difference

Green Ivy (Dulux) and Treron (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Green Ivy reads as green-greige, while Treron reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 24-point LRV gap — 49 for Green Ivy vs 25 for Treron — means Green Ivy will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 17.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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. Green Ivy reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Treron.

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 Green Ivy will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Treron would.

House

A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. Green Ivy returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

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.
