A ΔE of 2.5 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.

Cape Cod Grey vs Misty Mountain in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Cape Cod Grey and Misty Mountain 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.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. At this scale the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side, as shown here, to reliably tell them apart.
