Citrus Green vs Laudable Lime
Citrus Green (Benjamin Moore) and Laudable Lime (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers.

The 8-point LRV gap — 52 for Citrus Green vs 44 for Laudable Lime — means Citrus Green will open up a space more effectively. Where Citrus Green leans green, Laudable Lime reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 9.2 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
