Spa vs Bancha
Where Spa belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Bancha is a Farrow & Ball color. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Spa (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than Bancha (LRV 13), a difference of 49 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Spa runs yellow while Bancha is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 40.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
