Windy Sky vs Artichoke

Windy SkyBenjamin MoorevsArtichokeSherwin-WilliamsΔE 36.1Very different colors

Windy Sky (Benjamin Moore) and Artichoke (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Windy Sky reads as blue, while Artichoke reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 44-point LRV gap — 66 for Windy Sky vs 21 for Artichoke — means Windy Sky will open up a space more effectively. Where Windy Sky leans blue, Artichoke reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 36.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

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