Felicity vs Ammonite

FelicityCloverdale PaintvsAmmoniteFarrow & BallΔE 4.8Noticeable difference

Where Felicity belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Ammonite is a Farrow & Ball color. Felicity reads as greige-white, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Felicity (LRV 78) reflects noticeably more light than Ammonite (LRV 69), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.8 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.

Felicity vs Ammonite in Real Spaces

5 real rooms side by side. Felicity 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 Felicity will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Ammonite 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. Felicity reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Ammonite.

Dining Room

A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Felicity returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

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. Felicity reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Ammonite.

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.
