Spring Thaw vs Winter Orchard
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Spring Thaw reads as beige-greige, while Winter Orchard reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Winter Orchard (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Spring Thaw (LRV 62), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean yellow, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 6.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Spring Thaw vs Winter Orchard in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Spring Thaw and Winter Orchard 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 Winter Orchard will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Spring Thaw would.

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.
