Peeps vs Ammonite

PeepsCloverdale PaintvsAmmoniteFarrow & BallΔE 65.8Very different colors

Peeps is a Cloverdale Paint color while Ammonite comes from Farrow & Ball. Peeps reads as beige, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 68 and 69, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 65.8, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Bedroom

Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.

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.
