One match per brand, ranked by ΔE — a perceptual color difference score calculated from Lab color space values. Lower is closer. Click any card to compare side by side in simulated rooms.
With LRVs of 41 and 40, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 1.2 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 41 vs 40), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.2 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 41 vs 40), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.3 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 42 and 41, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 1.5 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 41 vs 40), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.6 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 41 vs 40), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.8 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.

With LRVs of 41 and 38, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 1.9 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 44 vs 41), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.2 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 44 and 41, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 2.6 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
With LRVs of 41 and 39, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 2.8 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 41 vs 40), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.9 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
A 4-point LRV gap (45 vs 41) makes Agate Grey the marginally brighter of the two. The ΔE 3.6 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
Precipitation reads slightly lighter (LRV 41 vs 35), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 4.0 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
