With LRVs of 78 and 77, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 1.1 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
With LRVs of 80 and 78, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 1.2 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Pearl Colour - Pale reads slightly lighter (LRV 82 vs 78), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 1.3 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Sweet Ariel reads slightly lighter (LRV 82 vs 78), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 1.8 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Green Glimpse reads slightly lighter (LRV 82 vs 78), 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 78 vs 76), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.3 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 79 and 78, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 2.4 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 78 vs 76), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.9 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Reflection reads slightly lighter (LRV 81 vs 78), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 3.1 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
S 1002-Y20R reads slightly lighter (LRV 82 vs 78), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 3.5 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Pure White reads slightly lighter (LRV 84 vs 78), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 4.5 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
A 9-point LRV gap (78 vs 69) makes Tidal Foam the marginally brighter of the two. The ΔE 5.1 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
