Luna Moon vs Ammonite

Luna MoonCloverdale PaintvsAmmoniteFarrow & BallΔE 5.6Noticeable difference

Luna Moon is a Cloverdale Paint color while Ammonite comes from Farrow & Ball. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. At LRV 81 vs 69, Luna Moon will read as the brighter of the two — a 12-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. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Luna Moon vs Ammonite in Real Spaces

5 real rooms side by side. Luna Moon 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. Luna Moon returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Bedroom

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 Luna Moon will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Ammonite would.

Dining Room

Dining room light is typically the warmest in the house, which shifts both colors toward the red end of the spectrum compared to daylight. Luna Moon reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Ammonite.

Bathroom

Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Luna Moon will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Ammonite would.

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.
