Guilford Green vs H2O
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Guilford Green belongs to the beige-green family and H2O to the blue family. Guilford Green (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than H2O (LRV 50), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Guilford Green runs yellow while H2O is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 30.1, 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. 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.
