CitronBenjamin MoorevsFeather SoftBenjamin MooreΔE 84.6 — Very different colors

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Citron belongs to the beige-yellow family and Feather Soft to the blue family. Feather Soft (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Citron (LRV 52), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Citron runs yellow while Feather Soft is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 84.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
