Would installing Chromium automatically remove Google Chrome?

I just downloaded Chromium, and I thought that Chromium might possibly automatically remove Google Chrome. I will not execute Chromium setup until I know (if...) that Chromium will not replace Chrome. Would installing Chromium automatically remove Google Chrome? (Chromium is the very latest, beta version of Chrome, correct?)

Update:

I just installed Chromium and Google Chrome was not removed.

    Chromium is a different browser. It's basically the open-source version of Chrome. It shouldn't remove Chrome, but I don't personally understand why you would want both. It's not the Beta version of Chrome or anything...

    "Chromium is the open-source web browser project from which Google Chrome draws its source code. The browsers share the majority of code and features, though there are some minor differences in features and they have different licensing."

    Both are by google.

    Chrome is the consumer version though.

    Remove chromium and install chrome.
