Citron vs Crushed Pineapple
Where Citron belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Crushed Pineapple is a PPG color. Both sit in the beige-yellow family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Citron (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Crushed Pineapple (LRV 59), a difference of 18 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
