California Hills vs Citrus Yellow
Where California Hills belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Citrus Yellow is a PPG color. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. Citrus Yellow (LRV 54) reflects noticeably more light than California Hills (LRV 50), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.4, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
