Ammonite vs Ferdinand
Where Ammonite belongs to Farrow & Ball's range, Ferdinand is a Little Greene color. Ammonite reads as beige-greige, while Ferdinand reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Ferdinand (LRV 89) reflects noticeably more light than Ammonite (LRV 69), a difference of 20 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Ammonite runs warm while Ferdinand is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
