Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 16 vs 16), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 0.8 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 18 and 16, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 1.0 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 16 vs 16), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.0 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 16 and 15, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 1.4 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
