Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 6 vs 5), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 0.9 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 6 vs 6), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.5 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 6 and 5, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 2.2 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
With LRVs of 6 and 4, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 3.9 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
