Sea Wind vs Ammonite

Sea WindBenjamin MoorevsAmmoniteFarrow & BallΔE 4.3Noticeable difference

Sea Wind (Benjamin Moore) and Ammonite (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 71 for Sea Wind vs 69 for Ammonite — means Sea Wind will open up a space more effectively. Where Sea Wind leans yellow, Ammonite reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 4.3 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. 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.
