Bancha vs Stoke
Bancha and Stoke come from the same Farrow & Ball collection. Bancha reads as beige-greige, while Stoke reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 15-point LRV gap — 28 for Stoke vs 13 for Bancha — means Stoke will open up a space more effectively. Where Bancha leans warm, Stoke reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 23.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
