Ammonite vs RAL 750-6

AmmoniteFarrow & BallvsRAL 750-6RAL EffectΔE 63.0Very different colors

Ammonite is a Farrow & Ball color while RAL 750-6 comes from RAL Effect. Ammonite reads as beige-greige, while RAL 750-6 reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 69 vs 5, Ammonite will read as the brighter of the two — a 64-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 63.0, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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.
