Citrona vs Grassroots
Where Citrona belongs to Farrow & Ball's range, Grassroots is a PPG color. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. Citrona (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Grassroots (LRV 53), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
