Bancha vs Lion's Mane
Bancha (Farrow & Ball) and Lion's Mane (PPG) come from different manufacturers. Bancha reads as beige-greige, while Lion's Mane reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 33-point LRV gap — 46 for Lion's Mane vs 13 for Bancha — means Lion's Mane will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 41.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
