BedrockCloverdale PaintvsAmmoniteFarrow & BallΔE 29.7Very different colors

At LRV 69 vs 25, Ammonite will read as the brighter of the two — a 44-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 29.7, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

Bedrock vs Ammonite in Real Spaces

5 real rooms side by side. Seeing Bedrock 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

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 returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Ammonite will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Bedrock would.

Dining Room

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.
