SnowboardBehrvsGuilford GreenBenjamin MooreΔE 33.6Very different colors

Where Snowboard belongs to Behr's range, Guilford Green is a Benjamin Moore color. Snowboard reads as blue, while Guilford Green reads as beige-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Guilford Green (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Snowboard (LRV 33), a difference of 24 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Snowboard runs blue while Guilford Green is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 33.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
