Citrona vs Pale Lime
Citrona (Farrow & Ball) and Pale Lime (Little Greene) come from different manufacturers. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 57 for Citrona vs 54 for Pale Lime — means Citrona will open up a space more effectively. Where Citrona leans warm, Pale Lime reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 19.9 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.
