Fresh GrassBenjamin MoorevsGuilford GreenBenjamin MooreΔE 27.8Very different colors

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Fresh Grass reads as green-yellow, while Guilford Green reads as beige-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 57 vs 46, Guilford Green will read as the brighter of the two — a 11-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Fresh Grass's green character against Guilford Green's yellow — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 27.8, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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