Citron vs Sulfur yellow

Sulfur yellow (LRV 71) reflects noticeably more light than Citron (LRV 52), a difference of 19 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 10.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
