With LRVs of 50 and 47, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 1.5 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
With LRVs of 49 and 47, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 1.6 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 47 vs 47), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.8 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 47 and 45, 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 47 and 44, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 2.3 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 49 vs 47), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.8 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 47 and 47, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 2.9 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 48 vs 47), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 3.2 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
With LRVs of 47 and 46, 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 48 and 47, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 4.1 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
With LRVs of 47 and 47, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 4.5 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 47 vs 47), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 4.6 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
Blue Willow reads slightly lighter (LRV 47 vs 40), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 6.2 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 47 vs 45), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 6.7 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
