Citrine vs Westhighland White
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Citrine belongs to the yellow family and Westhighland White to the beige-white family. Westhighland White (LRV 86) reflects noticeably more light than Citrine (LRV 82), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Citrine runs neutral while Westhighland White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
