Croquet vs Ammonite
Croquet is a Benjamin Moore color while Ammonite comes from Farrow & Ball. Croquet reads as grey, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 69 vs 45, Ammonite will read as the brighter of the two — a 24-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Croquet's yellow character against Ammonite's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 15.7, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
