Citron vs Pressed Violet
Citron and Pressed Violet come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Citron belongs to the beige-yellow family and Pressed Violet to the blue-purple family. The 15-point LRV gap — 52 for Citron vs 38 for Pressed Violet — means Citron will open up a space more effectively. Where Citron leans yellow, Pressed Violet reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 92.7 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.
