RAL 650-3 vs Ammonite
RAL 650-3 is a RAL Effect color while Ammonite comes from Farrow & Ball. At LRV 69 vs 8, Ammonite will read as the brighter of the two — a 60-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 57.4, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
RAL 650-3 vs Ammonite Color Comparison
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.

RAL 650-3 vs Ammonite in Real Spaces
Seeing RAL 650-3 and Ammonite in actual rooms makes the difference concrete. Browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall. Showing 3 room types where both colors have photos.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Ammonite returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Kitchen
Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The LRV gap is large enough that Ammonite will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than RAL 650-3 would.
