Citron vs Antique White
Where Citron belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Antique White is a Jotun color. Citron reads as beige-yellow, while Antique White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Antique White (LRV 56) 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 Antique White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 63.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
