Banana Yellow vs Lemon Twist
Where Banana Yellow belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Lemon Twist is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. Banana Yellow (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Lemon Twist (LRV 72), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Banana Yellow runs yellow while Lemon Twist is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
