Farrow & Ball colors are beautiful, luxurious, and many times, very specific! Treron is a beautiful gray green with a tendency to shift in interesting ways under all different conditions, but each face is sultry and elegant.
If you can’t get yourself the real deal, here are dupes from the other big name brands to help you replicate the look!
What color is Treron by Farrow and Ball?
Like many popular Farrow & Ball colors, Treron is a true chameleon. This color ranges in appearance from sage, to gray, to olive, and makes many stops in between.
For this reason it can be difficult to pin down dupes, because it will depend somewhat on which version of Treron you fell in love with!
Here is a sampling of all the different undertones this color can have:
I would say that most often, Treron appears as a deeper mid-toned smoky green with warm undertones.
Today I learned that a Treron is a type of bird, similar to a pigeon. Farrow & Ball says that they created this shade to be like a darker version of their big-time favorite “Pigeon.”
I can definitely see the vision!
You can see more of Pigeon in my Benjamin Moore Simply White post.
I will say that Pigeon looks warm less often than Treron does.
Farrow & Ball does not share the LRV’s for their paint colors, but based on all of these dupes it would be approximately 25.
The LRV (Light Reflectance Value) of a color indicates on a scale of 0 – 100 how much light a color reflects (or doesn’t reflect). True black has an LRV of 0 and pure white has an LRV of 100.
In the paint world, we are working in a range of about 3 – 93 because no paint color is purely black or completely white.
At 25, Treron is a mid-toned paint color.
Get the Treron Look From Benjamin Moore
From Benjamin Moore, the closest color match for Treron is their shade Rolling Hills.
Rolling Hills is a little bit darker, cooler, and a touch more saturated (less gray) than Treron. I think the extra saturation makes up for the slightly cooler tone.
Unless you are comparing these two side by side, they look very much the same in real life.
If you want Benjamin Moore options, you might also like October Mist. It is lighter, but in the same spirit as Treron.
Sherwin Williams Version of Treron
From Sherwin Williams I was not able to get quite as close of a match as from the other brands. Every color was either warmer or cooler by a larger degree than I would like.
The best overall match is their color Mountain Road.
Mountain Road is an almost opposite dupe from the Benjamin Moore version of this color, it is still a touch darker than Treron, but it is less saturated (more gray), and warmer.
While on paper the color family is warmer, you can see that Mountain Road is overall cooler looking because it is more gray. This shade most often looks like a darker sage green and only seldom has a warmer olivey undertone.
Honorable mention: Evergreen Fog
While it isn’t technically the best dupe for Treron, I wanted to quickly compare the popular color Sherwin Williams Evergreen Fog with Treron because they are similar.
Evergreen Fog is lighter, cooler, and more gray than Treron. Despite how it looks here, it can occasionally have a warm undertone like Treron.
Dupe Treron at Home Depot (Behr)
From Behr, the best color match for F&B Treron is the color Aloe Thorn.
Aloe Thorn is a tiny bit cooler than Treron, but a good bit more saturated, which makes for an overal “greener” appearance. Sadly this color does not get a lot of love, so it’s a bit hard to say how it most often looks. From what I have seen, it does look very much like Treron.
Best Valspar Version of Treron (Lowe’s)
Over at Lowe’s, the best dupe for Treron is their shade Gargoyle:
Gargoyle is probably the dupe that is technically the farthest off from Treron. This shade is lighter, warmer, and more saturated, basically the opposite of Sherwin Williams Mountain Road.
The result is a version of Treron that is more likely to have that olivey undertone. Overall this is still a very good color match.
I hope this gave you some workable alternatives to use in place of Treron, for when you just can’t get your hands on Farrow & Ball!
