Skylight vs Treron

SkylightFarrow & BallvsTreronFarrow & BallΔE 27.7Very different colors

Both from Farrow & Ball's palette. Hue-wise, Skylight belongs to the grey family and Treron to the greige-grey family. Skylight (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than Treron (LRV 25), a difference of 37 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Skylight runs neutral while Treron is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 27.7, 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 4 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.
