The ΔE 9.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Rice Wine vs Gentle Lamb in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Rice Wine and Gentle Lamb 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.

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.
