Lime Rickey vs Primavera

Lime Rickey and Primavera come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Lime Rickey belongs to the yellow family and Primavera to the beige-yellow family. The 15-point LRV gap — 60 for Primavera vs 45 for Lime Rickey — means Primavera will open up a space more effectively. Where Lime Rickey leans neutral, Primavera reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 10.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
