Ammonite vs Picnic
Ammonite (Farrow & Ball) and Picnic (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Ammonite reads as beige-greige, while Picnic reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 22-point LRV gap — 69 for Ammonite vs 47 for Picnic — means Ammonite will open up a space more effectively. Where Ammonite leans warm, Picnic reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 35.1 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.
