Woodlawn Blue vs Ammonite
Where Woodlawn Blue belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Ammonite is a Farrow & Ball color. Hue-wise, Woodlawn Blue belongs to the blue-green family and Ammonite to the beige-greige family. Ammonite (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Woodlawn Blue (LRV 61), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Woodlawn Blue runs green while Ammonite is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Woodlawn Blue vs Ammonite in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Woodlawn Blue 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
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Ammonite will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Woodlawn Blue would.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Ammonite reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Woodlawn Blue.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Ammonite reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Woodlawn Blue.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Ammonite reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Woodlawn Blue.
Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are constantly compared against adjacent materials, which means subtle differences between these two become much more visible. Ammonite reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Woodlawn Blue.

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.
