Ammonite vs Powder Blue
Ammonite (Farrow & Ball) and Powder Blue (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Ammonite reads as beige-greige, while Powder Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 34-point LRV gap — 69 for Ammonite vs 35 for Powder Blue — means Ammonite will open up a space more effectively. Where Ammonite leans warm, Powder Blue reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 25.6 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.
