Fresh Air vs Ammonite
Where Fresh Air belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Ammonite is a Farrow & Ball color. Fresh Air reads as beige-yellow, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Fresh Air (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Ammonite (LRV 69), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Fresh Air runs yellow while Ammonite is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 12.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
