Faded DenimBenjamin MoorevsAmmoniteFarrow & BallΔE 26.9Very different colors

Faded Denim (Benjamin Moore) and Ammonite (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Faded Denim reads as blue, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 17-point LRV gap — 69 for Ammonite vs 52 for Faded Denim — means Ammonite will open up a space more effectively. Where Faded Denim leans blue, Ammonite reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 26.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
