With LRVs of 58 and 56, 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 58 and 58, 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 60 vs 58), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.8 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Life Lesson reads slightly lighter (LRV 58 vs 54), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 1.8 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 59 vs 58), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.1 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
A 4-point LRV gap (58 vs 54) makes Life Lesson the marginally brighter of the two. A ΔE of 2.2 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
A 3-point LRV gap (58 vs 55) makes Life Lesson the marginally brighter of the two. A ΔE of 2.8 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 59 vs 58), 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 60 vs 58), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 3.1 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
Life Lesson reads slightly lighter (LRV 58 vs 53), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 3.1 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
