Citron vs Sudbury Yellow

Both from Farrow & Ball's palette. Citron reads as beige, while Sudbury Yellow reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Citron (LRV 65) reflects noticeably more light than Sudbury Yellow (LRV 49), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 11.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
