Guesthouse vs Guilford Green

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Guesthouse reads as beige, while Guilford Green reads as beige-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Guilford Green (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Guesthouse (LRV 40), a difference of 18 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Guesthouse runs red while Guilford Green is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 21.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.

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