Platinum vs Ammonite
Platinum (Behr) and Ammonite (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Platinum belongs to the grey family and Ammonite to the beige-greige family. The 4-point LRV gap — 69 for Ammonite vs 65 for Platinum — means Ammonite will open up a space more effectively. Where Platinum leans green, Ammonite reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 4.7 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Platinum vs Ammonite in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Platinum and Ammonite are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Ammonite reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

Platinum vs Ammonite Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Platinum on one side and Ammonite on the other.
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.
