Spring Rose vs Bancha

Spring RoseDuluxvsBanchaFarrow & BallΔE 55.0Very different colors

Spring Rose (Dulux) and Bancha (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Spring Rose reads as pink, while Bancha reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 72-point LRV gap — 85 for Spring Rose vs 13 for Bancha — means Spring Rose will open up a space more effectively. Where Spring Rose leans neutral, Bancha reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 55.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Spring Rose vs Bancha in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Spring Rose and Bancha 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

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. Spring Rose reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Bancha.

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. Spring Rose 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
