Windy Sky vs Y436
Where Windy Sky belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Y436 is a Tikkurila color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (66 vs 65), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 2.7, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
