Ammonite vs First Light
Ammonite (Farrow & Ball) and First Light (Little Greene) come from different manufacturers. Ammonite reads as beige-greige, while First Light reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 23-point LRV gap — 92 for First Light vs 69 for Ammonite — means First Light will open up a space more effectively. Where Ammonite leans warm, First Light reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 14.6 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 Ammonite on one side and First Light 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.
