Seattle Gray vs Wind Blown
Where Seattle Gray belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Wind Blown is a Cloverdale Paint color. Seattle Gray reads as blue-grey, while Wind Blown reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Wind Blown (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Seattle Gray (LRV 73), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 0.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Seattle Gray vs Wind Blown in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Seattle Gray and Wind Blown 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 brightness difference is modest but present — Wind Blown gives the walls a little more lift.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Wind Blown reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Wind Blown reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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.
