Horizon vs Windmill Lane
Horizon (Benjamin Moore) and Windmill Lane (Little Greene) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the green-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 42-point LRV gap — 73 for Horizon vs 31 for Windmill Lane — means Horizon 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 27.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Horizon vs Windmill Lane in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Seeing Horizon and Windmill Lane in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Horizon reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Windmill Lane.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Horizon returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Horizon returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Horizon vs Windmill Lane Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Horizon on one side and Windmill Lane on the other.
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.
