Iris Bliss vs Ammonite
Where Iris Bliss belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Ammonite is a Farrow & Ball color. Iris Bliss reads as grey, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Ammonite (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Iris Bliss (LRV 34), a difference of 34 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Iris Bliss runs purple while Ammonite is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 27.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
