Sliced Cucumber vs Ammonite
Sliced Cucumber is a Behr color while Ammonite comes from Farrow & Ball. Hue-wise, Sliced Cucumber belongs to the grey family and Ammonite to the beige-greige family. At LRV 69 vs 60, Ammonite will read as the brighter of the two — a 8-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Sliced Cucumber's yellow character against Ammonite's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 6.2, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Sliced Cucumber vs Ammonite in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Sliced Cucumber 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
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. Ammonite 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 Ammonite will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Sliced Cucumber 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 Ammonite will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Sliced Cucumber 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 Ammonite will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Sliced Cucumber would.
Kitchen Cabinets
On cabinetry, undertone and temperature become more pronounced against countertops and hardware. The LRV gap is large enough that Ammonite will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Sliced Cucumber would.

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