Limon vs Citron
Where Limon belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Citron is a Farrow & Ball color. Hue-wise, Limon belongs to the beige-yellow family and Citron to the beige family. Limon (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Citron (LRV 65), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Limon runs yellow while Citron is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
