Ray of Light vs Ammonite
Ray of Light (Benjamin Moore) and Ammonite (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Ray of Light belongs to the beige-yellow family and Ammonite to the beige-greige family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 71 vs 69 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Ray of Light leans yellow, Ammonite reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 25.8 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.

Ray of Light vs Ammonite Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Ray of Light 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.
