Ammonite vs Olive yellow
Ammonite (Farrow & Ball) and Olive yellow (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 39-point LRV gap — 69 for Ammonite vs 29 for Olive yellow — means Ammonite will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 33.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
