Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 77 vs 76), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 0.7 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 78 and 76, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 0.8 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
With LRVs of 76 and 76, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 0.9 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
With LRVs of 76 and 75, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 1.0 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Summer Linnen reads slightly lighter (LRV 79 vs 76), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 1.2 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 76 vs 73), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.8 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
A 6-point LRV gap (76 vs 70) makes Oatmeal the marginally brighter of the two. The ΔE 4.5 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
