Citrus Blast vs Sunflower
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Sunflower (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Citrus Blast (LRV 52), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Citrus Blast runs red while Sunflower is decidedly yellow and red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 11.3, 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.
