Bay Water vs Ammonite
Bay Water (Behr) and Ammonite (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Bay Water reads as grey, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 29-point LRV gap — 69 for Ammonite vs 40 for Bay Water — means Ammonite will open up a space more effectively. Where Bay Water leans yellow, Ammonite reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 19.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
