Ammonite vs Lucent Yellow
Ammonite (Farrow & Ball) and Lucent Yellow (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Ammonite reads as beige-greige, while Lucent Yellow reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 5-point LRV gap — 69 for Ammonite vs 64 for Lucent Yellow — means Ammonite will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 19.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Ammonite on one side and Lucent Yellow on the other.
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.
