Deep Secret® vs Ammonite
Deep Secret® (Benjamin Moore) and Ammonite (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Deep Secret® reads as blue-grey, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 57-point LRV gap — 69 for Ammonite vs 12 for Deep Secret® — means Ammonite will open up a space more effectively. Where Deep Secret® leans cool, Ammonite reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 49.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
