Chard vs Ammonite

ChardBehrvsAmmoniteFarrow & BallΔE 53.3Very different colors

Chard (Behr) and Ammonite (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Chard reads as green, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 61-point LRV gap — 69 for Ammonite vs 8 for Chard — means Ammonite will open up a space more effectively. Where Chard leans green, Ammonite reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 53.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Ammonite returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
