With LRVs of 72 and 70, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 1.2 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
With LRVs of 72 and 72, 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 72 vs 71), 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 74 vs 72), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.8 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 74 and 72, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 2.0 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Cliffswallow reads slightly lighter (LRV 75 vs 72), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 2.1 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.

Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 75 vs 72), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 3.4 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
RAL 160-5 reads slightly lighter (LRV 80 vs 72), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 3.5 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
With LRVs of 72 and 72, 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 72 vs 72), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 4.9 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
A 4-point LRV gap (76 vs 72) makes Cream the marginally brighter of the two. The ΔE 5.7 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
