Treron vs Green Tea
Where Treron belongs to Farrow & Ball's range, Green Tea is a Jotun color. Treron reads as greige-grey, while Green Tea reads as beige-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Green Tea (LRV 32) reflects noticeably more light than Treron (LRV 25), a difference of 7 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. The ΔE 9.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Treron vs Green Tea in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Treron and Green Tea are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Green Tea gives the walls a little more lift.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Green Tea reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Green Tea has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are constantly compared against adjacent materials, which means subtle differences between these two become much more visible. Green Tea reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

Treron vs Green Tea Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Treron on one side and Green Tea 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.
