Scenic Drive vs Windmill Lane
Where Scenic Drive belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Windmill Lane is a Little Greene color. Both sit in the green-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Scenic Drive (LRV 40) reflects noticeably more light than Windmill Lane (LRV 31), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean green, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 6.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Scenic Drive vs Windmill Lane in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Scenic Drive and Windmill Lane are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Scenic Drive will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Windmill Lane would.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Scenic Drive reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Windmill Lane.

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.
