Trouble knowing when a grapefruit is fully ripe

This may sound dumb... I have lemons and key limes that I never have wondered about their ripeness, but my grapefruit is confusing me.

It's a Thompson Pink Seedless variety. The fruit are about 4 inches in diameter, fairly firm, but the color is changing to yellow. One in particular is almost fully yellow. It just seems a little small to me for a grapefruit - is the color a good enough indicator, or will it continue to grow?

My lemons and key limes are massive.... should I just let it be and see if they get bigger?
