Citrona vs Dayroom Yellow

CitronaFarrow & BallvsDayroom YellowFarrow & BallΔE 10.5 — Distinct difference

Citrona and Dayroom Yellow come from the same Farrow & Ball collection. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. The 17-point LRV gap — 75 for Dayroom Yellow vs 57 for Citrona — means Dayroom Yellow will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 10.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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.
