Rainforest vs Ammonite

RainforestBehrvsAmmoniteFarrow & BallΔE 49.6Very different colors

Where Rainforest belongs to Behr's range, Ammonite is a Farrow & Ball color. Rainforest reads as blue-green, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Ammonite (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Rainforest (LRV 10), a difference of 59 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Rainforest runs green while Ammonite is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 49.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

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