Windmill Wings vs Ammonite
Where Windmill Wings belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Ammonite is a Farrow & Ball color. Windmill Wings reads as blue, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Ammonite (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Windmill Wings (LRV 63), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Windmill Wings runs blue while Ammonite is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 21.1, the contrast is hard to miss.
