Astronomical vs Windmill Lane
Astronomical is a Behr color while Windmill Lane comes from Little Greene. Hue-wise, Astronomical belongs to the grey family and Windmill Lane to the green-grey family. At LRV 31 vs 7, Windmill Lane will read as the brighter of the two — a 24-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a green quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 32.5, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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.
