Blue Ridge Mountains vs Guilford Green

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Blue Ridge Mountains belongs to the beige-blue family and Guilford Green to the beige-green family. Guilford Green (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Ridge Mountains (LRV 15), a difference of 42 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Ridge Mountains runs red while Guilford Green is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 38.1, the contrast is hard to miss.

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.
