Turmeric vs Ammonite
Where Turmeric belongs to Behr's range, Ammonite is a Farrow & Ball color. Turmeric reads as beige, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Ammonite (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Turmeric (LRV 29), a difference of 39 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Turmeric runs red while Ammonite is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 54.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
