Sojourn BlueBehrvsAmmoniteFarrow & BallΔE 49.4Very different colors

Sojourn Blue is a Behr color while Ammonite comes from Farrow & Ball. Hue-wise, Sojourn Blue belongs to the blue family and Ammonite to the beige-greige family. At LRV 69 vs 13, Ammonite will read as the brighter of the two — a 56-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Sojourn Blue's blue character against Ammonite's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 49.4, 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.
