Lemon Meringue vs Fun Yellow
Where Lemon Meringue belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Fun Yellow is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the beige-yellow family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Lemon Meringue (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Fun Yellow (LRV 78), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lemon Meringue runs yellow while Fun Yellow is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
