Cherry Plum vs Ammonite
Cherry Plum (Dulux) and Ammonite (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Cherry Plum reads as pink-red, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 36-point LRV gap — 69 for Ammonite vs 33 for Cherry Plum — means Ammonite will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 17.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Cherry Plum 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.
