Sea Ice vs Ammonite
Sea Ice is a Behr color while Ammonite comes from Farrow & Ball. Hue-wise, Sea Ice belongs to the blue family and Ammonite to the beige-greige family. At LRV 82 vs 69, Sea Ice will read as the brighter of the two — a 13-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Sea Ice's green and blue character against Ammonite's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 13.3, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Sea Ice vs Ammonite in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Seeing Sea Ice and Ammonite in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Sea Ice returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Sea Ice will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Ammonite would.
Kitchen
Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The LRV gap is large enough that Sea Ice will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Ammonite would.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Sea Ice will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Ammonite would.

Sea Ice vs Ammonite Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Sea Ice 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.
