Elmira White vs Guilford Green
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Elmira White belongs to the beige-greige family and Guilford Green to the beige-green family. Elmira White (LRV 65) reflects noticeably more light than Guilford Green (LRV 57), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Elmira White runs red while Guilford Green is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Elmira White vs Guilford Green in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Elmira White and Guilford Green are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Elmira White gives the walls a little more lift.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Elmira White reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Elmira White reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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.
