Bayleaf vs Citrine

BayleafBenjamin MoorevsCitrineBenjamin MooreΔE 31.3 — Very different colors

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Bayleaf reads as beige-greige, while Citrine reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 41 vs 18, Citrine will read as the brighter of the two — a 22-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a red quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 31.3, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
