Lime Ricky vs Narcissus
Where Lime Ricky belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Narcissus 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. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (84 vs 83), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Lime Ricky runs yellow while Narcissus is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
