Raphael vs Ammonite
Raphael (Benjamin Moore) and Ammonite (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Raphael reads as pink, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 62-point LRV gap — 69 for Ammonite vs 7 for Raphael — means Ammonite will open up a space more effectively. Where Raphael leans red, Ammonite reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 60.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
