Smoke Bush vs Ammonite
Smoke Bush (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 48-point LRV gap — 69 for Ammonite vs 21 for Smoke Bush — means Ammonite will open up a space more effectively. Where Smoke Bush leans yellow and red, Ammonite reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 36.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
