Early Dawn vs Guilford Green
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Early Dawn reads as beige-yellow, while Guilford Green reads as beige-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Early Dawn (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Guilford Green (LRV 57), a difference of 25 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean yellow, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 17.8, 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.
