Margarita vs Citrona
Margarita (Benjamin Moore) and Citrona (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Margarita reads as yellow, while Citrona reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 11-point LRV gap — 57 for Citrona vs 46 for Margarita — means Citrona will open up a space more effectively. Where Margarita leans yellow, Citrona reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 43.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
