With LRVs of 33 and 33, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 0.9 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 33 vs 33), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.4 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 33 and 32, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 1.9 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
With LRVs of 34 and 33, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 2.0 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 33 vs 32), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.8 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 34 vs 33), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 3.0 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 33 and 31, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 3.3 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
With LRVs of 35 and 33, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 3.7 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 35 vs 33), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 3.8 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
