Eddy vs Treron

EddyFarrow & BallvsTreronFarrow & BallΔE 24.4Distinct difference

Both from Farrow & Ball's palette. Eddy reads as yellow, while Treron reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Eddy (LRV 59) reflects noticeably more light than Treron (LRV 25), a difference of 34 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 24.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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.
