Flowering Herbs vs Ammonite

Flowering HerbsBenjamin MoorevsAmmoniteFarrow & BallΔE 12.4Distinct difference

Where Flowering Herbs 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 Flowering Herbs (LRV 56), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 12.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
