Guilford Green vs Polar White
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Guilford Green reads as beige-green, while Polar White reads as blue-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Polar White (LRV 79) reflects noticeably more light than Guilford Green (LRV 57), a difference of 22 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Guilford Green runs yellow while Polar White is decidedly blue and purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 22.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
