Trench Coat vs Ammonite
Where Trench Coat belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Ammonite is a Farrow & Ball color. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Ammonite (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Trench Coat (LRV 36), a difference of 33 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Trench Coat runs red while Ammonite is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 25.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
