Frisky BlueBehrvsAmmoniteFarrow & BallΔE 30.8Very different colors

Frisky Blue is a Behr color while Ammonite comes from Farrow & Ball. Frisky Blue reads as blue, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 69 vs 37, Ammonite will read as the brighter of the two — a 32-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Frisky Blue's blue character against Ammonite's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 30.8, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

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.
