Winter Sky vs Ammonite in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Winter Sky and Ammonite are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Winter Sky reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Ammonite.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Winter Sky 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.
