Brick House Tan vs Guilford Green

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Brick House Tan belongs to the beige-greige family and Guilford Green to the beige-green family. Guilford Green (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Brick House Tan (LRV 50), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Brick House Tan runs red while Guilford Green is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
