Citron Cocktail vs Neon
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Citron Cocktail reads as green-yellow, while Neon reads as yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (71 vs 72), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Citron Cocktail runs green while Neon is decidedly green and yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
