Funky Yellow vs Honorable Blue
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Funky Yellow reads as beige-yellow, while Honorable Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 65 vs 6, Funky Yellow will read as the brighter of the two — a 60-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Funky Yellow's warm character against Honorable Blue's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 101.5, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Funky Yellow vs Honorable Blue in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Seeing Funky Yellow and Honorable Blue in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Funky Yellow returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Kitchen
Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The LRV gap is large enough that Funky Yellow will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Honorable Blue would.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Funky Yellow will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Honorable Blue would.
House
At full exterior scale, the difference between these two colors becomes much easier to judge than from a small chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Funky Yellow will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Honorable Blue would.
Front Door
Front doors are seen in isolation against the rest of the facade, which makes them a high-stakes surface where even subtle differences matter. Funky Yellow returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Funky Yellow on one side and Honorable Blue on the other.
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.
