At LRV 49 vs 46, Techno Gray will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a warm quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. With a ΔE of 2.0, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
