Dark Lime vs Electric Lime
Dark Lime (Benjamin Moore) and Electric Lime (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. These are both yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within yellow to land. The 5-point LRV gap — 42 for Electric Lime vs 37 for Dark Lime — means Electric Lime will open up a space more effectively. Where Dark Lime leans yellow, Electric Lime reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 5.6 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
