With LRVs of 11 and 11, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 1.4 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 11 vs 10), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.3 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 11 vs 10), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 3.2 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
The ΔE 4.1 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
Pearl copper reads slightly lighter (LRV 14 vs 11), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 4.8 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
With LRVs of 13 and 11, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 5.0 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 11 vs 8), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 5.4 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
With LRVs of 12 and 11, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 6.2 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.

Red Clay reads slightly lighter (LRV 11 vs 7), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 10.1 these are two genuinely different directions, not variations on a theme.
A 4-point LRV gap (11 vs 7) makes Red Clay the marginally brighter of the two. A ΔE of 12.5 puts them firmly in different territory — a strong contrast if combined.
