Ammonite vs Vanilla Tan
Where Ammonite belongs to Farrow & Ball's range, Vanilla Tan is a PPG color. Ammonite reads as beige-greige, while Vanilla Tan reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Vanilla Tan (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Ammonite (LRV 69), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
