Guilford Green vs Silhouette

Guilford Green (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Silhouette (LRV 46), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Guilford Green runs yellow while Silhouette is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 10.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
