Awakening vs Ammonite
Awakening is a Cloverdale Paint color while Ammonite comes from Farrow & Ball. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. At LRV 69 vs 61, Ammonite will read as the brighter of the two — a 8-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 5.6, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

Awakening vs Ammonite in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Awakening 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
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Ammonite has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Bedroom
