Extreme YellowBehrvsSmiley FaceBehrΔE 19.1 — Distinct difference

Extreme Yellow and Smiley Face come from the same Behr collection. Hue-wise, Extreme Yellow belongs to the beige-yellow family and Smiley Face to the beige family. The 11-point LRV gap — 61 for Smiley Face vs 50 for Extreme Yellow — means Smiley Face will open up a space more effectively. Both share a red character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 19.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
