Delano Waters vs Guilford Green

Delano Waters and Guilford Green come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Delano Waters reads as blue, while Guilford Green reads as beige-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 4-point LRV gap — 61 for Delano Waters vs 57 for Guilford Green — means Delano Waters will open up a space more effectively. Where Delano Waters leans blue, Guilford Green reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 28.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
