Windsurf vs James
Where Windsurf belongs to Behr's range, James is a Little Greene color. Windsurf reads as blue, while James reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Windsurf (LRV 37) reflects noticeably more light than James (LRV 30), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 7.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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.
