Sunfish vs Ammonite
Sunfish (Benjamin Moore) and Ammonite (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Sunfish belongs to the beige family and Ammonite to the beige-greige family. The 4-point LRV gap — 69 for Ammonite vs 65 for Sunfish — means Ammonite will open up a space more effectively. Where Sunfish leans red, Ammonite reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 17.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Sunfish vs Ammonite Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Sunfish on one side and Ammonite on the other.
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.
