Showtime vs Ammonite

ShowtimeBenjamin MoorevsAmmoniteFarrow & BallΔE 45.0Very different colors

Showtime is a Benjamin Moore color while Ammonite comes from Farrow & Ball. Showtime reads as beige, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 69 vs 54, Ammonite will read as the brighter of the two — a 15-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Showtime's yellow and red character against Ammonite's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 45.0, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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.

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