Soft ChamoisBenjamin MoorevsAmmoniteFarrow & BallΔE 4.8Noticeable difference

Soft Chamois (Benjamin Moore) and Ammonite (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 9-point LRV gap — 77 for Soft Chamois vs 69 for Ammonite — means Soft Chamois will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 4.8 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.
