Bancha vs Autumn Fern
Where Bancha belongs to Farrow & Ball's range, Autumn Fern is a PPG color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Autumn Fern (LRV 16) reflects noticeably more light than Bancha (LRV 13), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 7.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
