With LRVs of 21 and 20, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 2.3 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
With LRVs of 20 and 18, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 2.4 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
With LRVs of 20 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 20 and 18, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 2.8 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 20 vs 20), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 3.8 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.

With LRVs of 20 and 18, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 7.2 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 21 vs 20), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 7.4 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
A 6-point LRV gap (26 vs 20) makes Gooseberry Fool 2 the marginally brighter of the two. The ΔE 7.9 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
