Electric Lime vs Parakeet
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Electric Lime reads as yellow, while Parakeet reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 42 and 41, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Electric Lime's neutral character against Parakeet's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 28.7, 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.
