Windmill Lane vs Lead Colour

Little Greene

Both from Little Greene's palette. Windmill Lane (LRV 31) reflects noticeably more light than Lead Colour (LRV 28), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Windmill Lane runs green while Lead Colour is decidedly yellow and red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
