Fernwood Green vs Guilford Green
Fernwood Green and Guilford Green come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. These are both beige-greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-green to land. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 57 vs 57 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Both share a yellow character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 5.3 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Fernwood Green vs Guilford Green in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Fernwood Green 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
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. The distinction reads clearly at room scale, making the choice between them concrete.
Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Fernwood Green on one side and Guilford Green on the other.
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.
