Accessible Beige vs Ammonite
Where Accessible Beige belongs to Sherwin-Williams's range, Ammonite is a Farrow & Ball color. Ammonite (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Accessible Beige (LRV 58), a difference of 11 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 7.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Ammonite returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
