Gibraltar Cliffs (LRV 32) reflects noticeably more light than Stonybrook (LRV 29), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Gibraltar Cliffs runs blue while Stonybrook is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 3.0, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
