Bancha vs Salted Pretzel
Bancha (Farrow & Ball) and Salted Pretzel (PPG) come from different manufacturers. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 16 for Salted Pretzel vs 13 for Bancha — means Salted Pretzel will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 13.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
