Glacier Ice vs Ammonite
Where Glacier Ice belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Ammonite is a Farrow & Ball color. Glacier Ice reads as green-grey, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Glacier Ice (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Ammonite (LRV 69), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.9 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.
Glacier Ice vs Ammonite in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Glacier Ice 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 brightness difference is modest but present — Glacier Ice gives the walls a little more lift.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Glacier Ice reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Glacier Ice reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
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. Glacier Ice has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
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. Glacier Ice reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

Glacier Ice vs Ammonite Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Glacier Ice on one side and Ammonite on the other.
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.
