MagnoliaDuluxvsTreronFarrow & BallΔE 35.4Very different colors

Magnolia is a Dulux color while Treron comes from Farrow & Ball. Magnolia reads as beige, while Treron reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 83 vs 25, Magnolia will read as the brighter of the two — a 58-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a warm quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 35.4, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 6 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Digital color is approximate.
