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.
