Citronella vs N302
Citronella is a Sherwin-Williams color while N302 comes from Tikkurila. Both sit in the beige-yellow family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. With LRVs of 41 and 43, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 11.8, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

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.
