With LRVs of 10 and 10, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 4.8 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
With LRVs of 10 and 7, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 6.5 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
With LRVs of 13 and 10, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 6.6 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
With LRVs of 13 and 10, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 7.5 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. A ΔE of 10.6 puts them firmly in different territory — a strong contrast if combined.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 12 vs 10), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 11.0 puts them firmly in different territory — a strong contrast if combined.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 11 vs 10), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 13.8 puts them firmly in different territory — a strong contrast if combined.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 12 vs 10), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 13.9 puts them firmly in different territory — a strong contrast if combined.
With LRVs of 10 and 7, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 16.0 these are two genuinely different directions, not variations on a theme.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 13 vs 10), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 17.3 puts them firmly in different territory — a strong contrast if combined.
A 4-point LRV gap (10 vs 6) makes Magenta the marginally brighter of the two. A ΔE of 17.4 puts them firmly in different territory — a strong contrast if combined.
A 4-point LRV gap (14 vs 10) makes Hibiscus the marginally brighter of the two. A ΔE of 21.9 puts them firmly in different territory — a strong contrast if combined.
Nectar reads slightly lighter (LRV 16 vs 10), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 22.6 these are two genuinely different directions, not variations on a theme.
