Engagement SilverBehrvsWindmill LaneLittle GreeneΔE 18.4Distinct difference

Engagement Silver (Behr) and Windmill Lane (Little Greene) come from different manufacturers. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. The 24-point LRV gap — 55 for Engagement Silver vs 31 for Windmill Lane — means Engagement Silver will open up a space more effectively. Both share a green character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 18.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Kitchen Cabinets

Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. Engagement Silver returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
