Sonnet vs Ammonite
Sonnet is a Benjamin Moore color while Ammonite comes from Farrow & Ball. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. With LRVs of 70 and 69, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Sonnet's red character against Ammonite's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 3.1, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

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.
