Forget Me Not vs Guilford Green

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Forget Me Not belongs to the blue family and Guilford Green to the beige-green family. Forget Me Not (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Guilford Green (LRV 57), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Forget Me Not 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 20.8, 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.

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