Citrine vs White Willow

Citrine and White Willow come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Citrine reads as yellow, while White Willow reads as white-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 82 vs 81 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Both share a neutral character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 2.1 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.
