What color is Benjamin Moore Guilford Green?
Benjamin Moore Guilford Green HC-116 is a light, softened yellow-green with a muted, khaki-like cast rather than a strong botanical green. Its low saturation gives it an understated presence on walls, where it can read as a gentle sage in daylight and lean warmer, more beige-olive under incandescent lighting. This shade suits kitchens, mudrooms, breakfast nooks, and bedrooms that need color without a dark or heavily green finish. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm wood cabinetry, aged brass, woven natural fibers, or deep olive accents for a layered look. On cabinetry, Guilford Green creates a quiet contrast against pale countertops and warm white walls.

LRV of Guilford Green
Guilford Green has an LRV of 57.22% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 57.22%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
