Ammonite vs Cement grey
Ammonite is a Farrow & Ball color while Cement grey comes from RAL Classic.

At ΔE 33.1, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
Ammonite vs Cement grey Color Comparison
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.
