Chateau vs Ammonite
Chateau (Benjamin Moore) and Ammonite (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Chateau reads as greige-grey, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 32-point LRV gap — 69 for Ammonite vs 37 for Chateau — means Ammonite will open up a space more effectively. Where Chateau leans red, Ammonite reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 19.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
