Wishing Well vs Ammonite
Where Wishing Well belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Ammonite is a Farrow & Ball color. Wishing Well reads as purple, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Ammonite (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Wishing Well (LRV 51), a difference of 18 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Wishing Well runs purple while Ammonite is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 21.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
