Sea Haze vs Ammonite

Sea HazeBenjamin MoorevsAmmoniteFarrow & BallΔE 13.5Distinct difference

Sea Haze is a Benjamin Moore color while Ammonite comes from Farrow & Ball. Sea Haze reads as grey, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 69 vs 45, Ammonite will read as the brighter of the two — a 24-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Sea Haze's yellow character against Ammonite's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 13.5, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Bedroom

Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Ammonite will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Sea Haze would.

Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Ammonite will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Sea Haze would.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
