Clinton Brown vs Ammonite
Where Clinton Brown belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Ammonite is a Farrow & Ball color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Ammonite (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Clinton Brown (LRV 10), a difference of 59 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Clinton Brown runs red while Ammonite is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 49.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
