Ammonite vs Cotton Candy
Where Ammonite belongs to Farrow & Ball's range, Cotton Candy is a Sherwin-Williams color. Ammonite reads as beige-greige, while Cotton Candy reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cotton Candy (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Ammonite (LRV 69), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 7.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
