Lemon vs Forsythia
Lemon (Benjamin Moore) and Forsythia (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the beige-yellow family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 9-point LRV gap — 63 for Forsythia vs 55 for Lemon — means Forsythia will open up a space more effectively. Where Lemon leans yellow, Forsythia reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 2.4 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
