With LRVs of 13 and 11, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 0.8 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
With LRVs of 13 and 10, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 5.4 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 6.6 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
With LRVs of 13 and 12, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 7.7 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
With LRVs of 14 and 13, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 7.7 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 15 vs 13), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 7.8 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 15 vs 13), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 8.9 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
A 3-point LRV gap (16 vs 13) makes Leather the marginally brighter of the two. A ΔE of 10.4 puts them firmly in different territory — a strong contrast if combined.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 13 vs 11), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 11.0 puts them firmly in different territory — a strong contrast if combined.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 13 vs 11), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 17.2 puts them firmly in different territory — a strong contrast if combined.
With LRVs of 15 and 13, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 21.9 these are two genuinely different directions, not variations on a theme.
Raspberry red reads slightly lighter (LRV 13 vs 7), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 22.2 these are two genuinely different directions, not variations on a theme.
A 7-point LRV gap (13 vs 6) makes Raspberry red the marginally brighter of the two. A ΔE of 23.4 puts them firmly in different territory — a strong contrast if combined.
Nectar reads slightly lighter (LRV 16 vs 13), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 26.2 these are two genuinely different directions, not variations on a theme.
