They share a warm quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 8.9, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Ammonite vs White Tie in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Ammonite and White Tie 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.
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 White Tie will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Ammonite would.
Kitchen
Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The LRV gap is large enough that White Tie will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Ammonite would.

Ammonite vs White Tie Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Ammonite on one side and White Tie 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.
