Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 12 vs 12), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.1 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 12 vs 12), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.2 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 13 and 12, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 2.2 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 12 vs 11), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.4 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 13 and 12, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 3.1 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
