Jojoba vs Ammonite
Where Jojoba belongs to Behr's range, Ammonite is a Farrow & Ball color. Jojoba reads as green-grey, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Ammonite (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Jojoba (LRV 47), a difference of 22 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Jojoba runs green while Ammonite is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 56.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
