Make Believe vs Ammonite
Where Make Believe 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 Make Believe (LRV 52), a difference of 17 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Make Believe runs red while Ammonite is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 12.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
