Spring Violet vs Ammonite
Where Spring Violet belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Ammonite is a Farrow & Ball color. Spring Violet reads as blue-grey, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Ammonite (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Spring Violet (LRV 43), a difference of 26 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Spring Violet runs purple while Ammonite is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 20.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
