With LRVs of 37 and 36, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 0.0 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 36 vs 36), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 0.9 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
A 10-point LRV gap (46 vs 36) makes White aluminium the marginally brighter of the two. A ΔE of 1.4 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 36 and 35, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 1.6 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
