With LRVs of 63 and 63, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 0.0 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
A ΔE of 1.3 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 65 vs 63), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.8 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 64 and 63, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 3.0 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Wild Lime reads slightly lighter (LRV 72 vs 63), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 3.7 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
