BrassicaFarrow & BallvsTreronFarrow & BallΔE 16.7Distinct difference

Both from Farrow & Ball's palette. Brassica reads as grey, while Treron reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (24 vs 25), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Brassica runs neutral while Treron is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 16.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
