Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 10 vs 9), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.2 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 10 and 8, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 1.8 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
With LRVs of 10 and 9, 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 10 vs 9), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.2 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 10 vs 8), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 3.0 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 11 and 10, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 4.5 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 11 vs 10), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 6.3 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
