Green Earth vs Guilford Green

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the beige-green family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Green Earth (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Guilford Green (LRV 57), a difference of 17 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Green Earth runs warm while Guilford Green is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
