Bancha vs Ficus
Bancha (Farrow & Ball) and Ficus (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Bancha reads as beige-greige, while Ficus reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 7-point LRV gap — 13 for Bancha vs 7 for Ficus — means Bancha will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 20.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Bancha has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Bancha on one side and Ficus 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.
