Hazy Skies vs Ammonite
Hazy Skies (Benjamin Moore) and Ammonite (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 11-point LRV gap — 69 for Ammonite vs 58 for Hazy Skies — means Ammonite will open up a space more effectively. Where Hazy Skies leans yellow, Ammonite reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 6.6 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Hazy Skies vs Ammonite in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Hazy Skies and Ammonite are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Ammonite reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Hazy Skies.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Ammonite returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Hazy Skies vs Ammonite Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Hazy Skies on one side and Ammonite on the other.
Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
