Benjamin Moore

Guilford Green

HC-116

Guilford Green is a soft green with warm yellow undertones that give it a muted, sage-like quality. With an LRV of 57.22, it reflects a good amount of light, making it appropriate for kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms where a calm atmosphere is preferred. The warm undertones prevent it from reading as cool or sterile.

This color coordinates well with Benjamin Moore White Dove as a clean trim option, Revere Pewter in connecting spaces, Hale Navy as a contrasting accent, and Soft Fern for a layered green palette.
