Baby Vegetable vs Ammonite
Baby Vegetable (Cloverdale Paint) and Ammonite (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Baby Vegetable reads as yellow, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 54-point LRV gap — 69 for Ammonite vs 15 for Baby Vegetable — means Ammonite will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 44.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Baby Vegetable vs Ammonite in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Seeing Baby Vegetable and Ammonite in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
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. Ammonite reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Baby Vegetable.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Ammonite returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Ammonite returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The LRV gap is large enough that Ammonite will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Baby Vegetable would.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. 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.
