Funky Yellow vs Nervy Hue
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Both sit in the beige-yellow family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Funky Yellow (LRV 65) reflects noticeably more light than Nervy Hue (LRV 56), a difference of 10 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. The ΔE 7.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Funky Yellow vs Nervy Hue in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Funky Yellow and Nervy Hue are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Front Door
A front door is a focal point — small color differences read clearly at this concentrated scale. The LRV gap is large enough that Funky Yellow will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Nervy Hue would.

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.
