Distant Gray vs Windy Sky

Distant GrayBenjamin MoorevsWindy SkyBenjamin MooreΔE 12.0 — Distinct difference

Distant Gray and Windy Sky come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Distant Gray belongs to the green-grey family and Windy Sky to the blue family. The 22-point LRV gap — 88 for Distant Gray vs 66 for Windy Sky — means Distant Gray will open up a space more effectively. Where Distant Gray leans green, Windy Sky reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 12.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
