With LRVs of 5 and 3, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 4.1 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 5 vs 3), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 6.0 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
A 3-point LRV gap (8 vs 5) makes Cherry Chocolate the marginally brighter of the two. The ΔE 8.4 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
A 4-point LRV gap (9 vs 5) makes Gooseberry the marginally brighter of the two. The ΔE 9.0 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
Formal Maroon reads slightly lighter (LRV 9 vs 5), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 12.7 these are two genuinely different directions, not variations on a theme.
