Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 26 vs 24), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.7 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 24 vs 22), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.4 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 24 vs 22), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 3.2 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 24 vs 23), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 4.1 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
With LRVs of 25 and 24, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 4.1 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.

A 5-point LRV gap (29 vs 24) makes Olive yellow the marginally brighter of the two. The ΔE 9.9 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
S 3030-Y30R reads slightly lighter (LRV 33 vs 24), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 12.2 these are two genuinely different directions, not variations on a theme.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 26 vs 24), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 12.9 puts them firmly in different territory — a strong contrast if combined.
