Blue Heron vs Guilford Green
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Blue Heron 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 Blue Heron (LRV 16), a difference of 41 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Heron runs cool while Guilford Green is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 49.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
