Ammonite vs Muddy River

AmmoniteFarrow & BallvsMuddy RiverPPGΔE 48.7Very different colors

Ammonite (Farrow & Ball) and Muddy River (PPG) come from different manufacturers. Ammonite reads as beige-greige, while Muddy River reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 59-point LRV gap — 69 for Ammonite vs 10 for Muddy River — means Ammonite will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 48.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
