Cascade White vs Guilford Green
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Cascade White reads as blue-grey, while Guilford Green reads as beige-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cascade White (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Guilford Green (LRV 57), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cascade White runs blue while Guilford Green is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 18.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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.
