Bancha vs Gray Heron
Bancha (Farrow & Ball) and Gray Heron (PPG) come from different manufacturers. Bancha reads as beige-greige, while Gray Heron reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 15-point LRV gap — 28 for Gray Heron vs 13 for Bancha — means Gray Heron will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 22.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Bancha vs Gray Heron Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Bancha on one side and Gray Heron on the other.
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.
