Spinning Wheel vs Ammonite
Where Spinning Wheel belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Ammonite is a Farrow & Ball color. Spinning Wheel reads as beige, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Spinning Wheel (LRV 87) reflects noticeably more light than Ammonite (LRV 69), a difference of 18 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 9.0 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.
Spinning Wheel vs Ammonite in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Spinning Wheel 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 Spinning Wheel 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. Spinning Wheel reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Ammonite.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Spinning Wheel 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. Spinning Wheel 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. Spinning Wheel reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Ammonite.

Spinning Wheel vs Ammonite Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Spinning Wheel 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.
