One match per brand, ranked by ΔE — a perceptual color difference score calculated from Lab color space values. Lower is closer. Click any card to compare side by side in simulated rooms.
With LRVs of 6 and 4, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 2.2 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
With LRVs of 7 and 4, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 3.8 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 5 vs 4), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 6.3 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
With LRVs of 5 and 4, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 6.9 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
With LRVs of 6 and 4, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 7.1 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 7 vs 4), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 10.1 puts them firmly in different territory — a strong contrast if combined.
With LRVs of 7 and 4, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 11.5 these are two genuinely different directions, not variations on a theme.
