Hot SpiceBenjamin MoorevsWindmill LaneLittle GreeneΔE 68.2Very different colors

Hot Spice (Benjamin Moore) and Windmill Lane (Little Greene) come from different manufacturers. Hot Spice reads as pink-red, while Windmill Lane reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 4-point LRV gap — 31 for Windmill Lane vs 27 for Hot Spice — means Windmill Lane will open up a space more effectively. Where Hot Spice leans red, Windmill Lane reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
