Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 11 vs 9), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.0 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 9 and 9, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 2.2 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 9 vs 9), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.7 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 9 and 9, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 4.0 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
With LRVs of 10 and 9, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 4.2 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 9 vs 9), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 4.2 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
