With LRVs of 36 and 35, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 1.1 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 37 vs 36), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.8 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 36 vs 34), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.1 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 38 and 36, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 2.7 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 38 vs 36), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.8 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 38 vs 36), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 3.2 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
With LRVs of 38 and 36, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 3.3 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Overtly Olive reads slightly lighter (LRV 43 vs 36), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 3.4 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
With LRVs of 36 and 34, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 3.6 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Curious Mind reads slightly lighter (LRV 41 vs 36), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 3.6 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
