Closest matches across every brand
One match per brand, ranked by ΔE — a perceptual color difference score calculated from Lab color space values. Lower is closer. Click any card to compare side by side in simulated rooms.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 6 vs 5), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.1 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 7 and 6, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 2.1 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 6 vs 4), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.3 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Dragonfly reflects far more light (LRV 26 vs 6), opening up a space where Salamander encloses it. At ΔE 2.8 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 6 vs 6), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.9 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 6 vs 5), 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 6 and 4, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 4.2 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
With LRVs of 6 and 6, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 4.7 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
With LRVs of 6 and 3, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 5.1 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 6 vs 6), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 6.3 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
With LRVs of 6 and 5, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 7.1 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 6 vs 5), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 7.3 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
With LRVs of 6 and 4, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 8.4 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
With LRVs of 7 and 6, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 8.8 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
