Barely Yellow vs Guilford Green
Barely Yellow and Guilford Green come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Barely Yellow reads as beige-yellow, while Guilford Green reads as beige-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 31-point LRV gap — 88 for Barely Yellow vs 57 for Guilford Green — means Barely Yellow 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 15.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
