Granny SmithBenjamin MoorevsAmmoniteFarrow & BallΔE 57.2Very different colors

Where Granny Smith belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Ammonite is a Farrow & Ball color. Granny Smith reads as beige-yellow, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Ammonite (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Granny Smith (LRV 57), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Granny Smith runs yellow while Ammonite is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 57.2, 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.

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