Acadia White vs Guilford Green
Acadia White and Guilford Green come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Acadia White reads as beige-white, while Guilford Green reads as beige-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 26-point LRV gap — 83 for Acadia White vs 57 for Guilford Green — means Acadia White will open up a space more effectively. Both share a yellow character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 15.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Acadia White vs Guilford Green in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Seeing Acadia White and Guilford Green in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Acadia White reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Guilford Green.
House
A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. Acadia White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. Acadia White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Acadia White vs Guilford Green Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Acadia White on one side and Guilford Green on the other.
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.
