Neon vs Sour Apple
Neon and Sour Apple come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. These are both yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within yellow to land. The 4-point LRV gap — 76 for Sour Apple vs 72 for Neon — means Sour Apple will open up a space more effectively. Where Neon leans green and yellow, Sour Apple reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 8.1 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same 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.
