Citron vs Carys
Citron (Farrow & Ball) and Carys (Little Greene) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Citron belongs to the beige family and Carys to the beige-yellow family. The 14-point LRV gap — 79 for Carys vs 65 for Citron — means Carys will open up a space more effectively. Where Citron leans warm, Carys reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 10.6 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.
