With LRVs of 17 and 17, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 2.0 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 17 vs 15), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.8 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 17 vs 15), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 3.0 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 18 vs 17), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 3.2 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
With LRVs of 19 and 17, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 3.6 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 18 vs 17), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 3.9 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
Olive grey reads slightly lighter (LRV 22 vs 17), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 4.2 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
A 5-point LRV gap (22 vs 17) makes Praline Melt the marginally brighter of the two. The ΔE 9.4 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
Warm Eucalyptus (US) reads slightly lighter (LRV 21 vs 17), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 10.3 these are two genuinely different directions, not variations on a theme.
