Citrus vs Sunny Side Up

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Citrus reads as beige-yellow, while Sunny Side Up reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Sunny Side Up (LRV 65) reflects noticeably more light than Citrus (LRV 61), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 27.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
