AmmoniteFarrow & BallvsGrass greenRAL ClassicΔE 53.5Very different colors

Ammonite (Farrow & Ball) and Grass green (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Ammonite reads as beige-greige, while Grass green reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 54-point LRV gap — 69 for Ammonite vs 15 for Grass green — means Ammonite will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 53.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Kitchen

Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Ammonite returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

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.
