Golden Nugget vs Guilford Green

The 7-point LRV gap — 57 for Guilford Green vs 50 for Golden Nugget — means Guilford Green will open up a space more effectively. Where Golden Nugget leans red, Guilford Green reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes.

Digital color is approximate.

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