Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 11 vs 10), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.1 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 10 vs 9), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.5 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 13 vs 10), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 4.1 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
With LRVs of 10 and 8, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 4.7 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
