New Lime vs Ammonite

New LimeBenjamin MoorevsAmmoniteFarrow & BallΔE 78.4Very different colors

New Lime (Benjamin Moore) and Ammonite (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, New Lime belongs to the beige-yellow family and Ammonite to the beige-greige family. The 9-point LRV gap — 69 for Ammonite vs 60 for New Lime — means Ammonite will open up a space more effectively. Where New Lime leans yellow, Ammonite reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 78.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
