Raw Cashmere vs Ammonite

Raw CashmereDuluxvsAmmoniteFarrow & BallΔE 8.2Noticeable difference

Raw Cashmere (Dulux) and Ammonite (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 8-point LRV gap — 69 for Ammonite vs 61 for Raw Cashmere — 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. ΔE 8.2 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Raw Cashmere vs Ammonite in Real Spaces

3 real rooms side by side. Raw Cashmere 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

A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Ammonite reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

Bedroom

Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Ammonite has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Kitchen

Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Ammonite has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
