Winterwood vs Ammonite

WinterwoodBenjamin MoorevsAmmoniteFarrow & BallΔE 9.8Noticeable difference

Winterwood (Benjamin Moore) and Ammonite (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Winterwood belongs to the greige-grey family and Ammonite to the beige-greige family. The 18-point LRV gap — 69 for Ammonite vs 51 for Winterwood — means Ammonite will open up a space more effectively. Where Winterwood leans yellow, Ammonite reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 9.8 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Winterwood vs Ammonite in Real Spaces

1 real room side by side. Winterwood 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.

Kitchen Cabinets

Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. Ammonite returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

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.
