Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 21 vs 19), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.5 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 22 vs 21), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.8 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 21 and 19, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 2.5 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
With LRVs of 23 and 21, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 2.6 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 22 vs 21), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.7 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 21 vs 18), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 5.1 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
Pearl beige reflects far more light (LRV 35 vs 21), opening up a space where Barn Board encloses it. At ΔE 5.2 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.

With LRVs of 21 and 21, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 6.5 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Gooseberry Fool 2 reads slightly lighter (LRV 26 vs 21), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 7.2 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
A 9-point LRV gap (30 vs 21) makes S 4010-Y50R the marginally brighter of the two. A ΔE of 10.1 puts them firmly in different territory — a strong contrast if combined.
With LRVs of 21 and 21, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 11.0 these are two genuinely different directions, not variations on a theme.
