Ammonite vs Pear Cactus
Ammonite (Farrow & Ball) and Pear Cactus (PPG) come from different manufacturers. Ammonite reads as beige-greige, while Pear Cactus reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 32-point LRV gap — 69 for Ammonite vs 37 for Pear Cactus — means Ammonite will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 28.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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