Seashell vs Ammonite
Where Seashell belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Ammonite is a Farrow & Ball color. Hue-wise, Seashell belongs to the beige-yellow family and Ammonite to the beige-greige family. Seashell (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Ammonite (LRV 69), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Seashell runs yellow while Ammonite is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
