Alfresco vs Ammonite
Where Alfresco belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Ammonite is a Farrow & Ball color. Alfresco reads as blue, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Ammonite (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Alfresco (LRV 22), a difference of 47 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Alfresco runs blue while Ammonite is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 37.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
