Citron vs Daffodil
Where Citron belongs to Farrow & Ball's range, Daffodil is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Daffodil (LRV 71) reflects noticeably more light than Citron (LRV 65), a difference of 7 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. The ΔE 4.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
