Spanish White vs Ammonite
Where Spanish White belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Ammonite is a Farrow & Ball color. Spanish White reads as beige-white, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Spanish White (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Ammonite (LRV 69), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Spanish White runs yellow while Ammonite is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
