With LRVs of 21 and 21, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 0.9 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
With LRVs of 21 and 20, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 1.0 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 21 vs 21), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.1 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 23 vs 21), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.6 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Pearl beige reflects far more light (LRV 35 vs 21), opening up a space where Habitat encloses it. At ΔE 2.8 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
A 4-point LRV gap (25 vs 21) makes Urban Walk the marginally brighter of the two. The ΔE 3.5 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
A 5-point LRV gap (26 vs 21) makes Mouse's Back the marginally brighter of the two. The ΔE 5.5 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
With LRVs of 21 and 21, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 6.4 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
S 4010-G50Y reads slightly lighter (LRV 29 vs 21), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 10.2 these are two genuinely different directions, not variations on a theme.
