A 6-point LRV gap (34 vs 28) makes Science Experiment the marginally brighter of the two. A ΔE of 1.7 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
A 6-point LRV gap (34 vs 28) makes Science Experiment the marginally brighter of the two. A ΔE of 1.8 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 34 and 32, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 4.6 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Science Experiment reads slightly lighter (LRV 34 vs 29), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 5.7 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Hyper reads slightly lighter (LRV 45 vs 34), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 8.4 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
A 8-point LRV gap (34 vs 26) makes Science Experiment the marginally brighter of the two. The ΔE 9.4 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
A 4-point LRV gap (34 vs 30) makes Science Experiment the marginally brighter of the two. The ΔE 9.7 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
N391 reads slightly lighter (LRV 38 vs 34), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 10.5 these are two genuinely different directions, not variations on a theme.
Boxington reads slightly lighter (LRV 40 vs 34), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 10.9 these are two genuinely different directions, not variations on a theme.
