Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 81 vs 78), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 0.8 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 81 and 81, 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 82 vs 81), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.3 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 81 vs 80), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.8 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
A 4-point LRV gap (81 vs 77) makes Lily the marginally brighter of the two. The ΔE 3.8 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
A 9-point LRV gap (81 vs 72) makes Lily the marginally brighter of the two. The ΔE 4.3 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
Lily reads slightly lighter (LRV 81 vs 70), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 5.3 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
A 4-point LRV gap (81 vs 77) makes Lily the marginally brighter of the two. The ΔE 6.0 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
A 9-point LRV gap (81 vs 72) makes Lily the marginally brighter of the two. The ΔE 8.0 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
Lily reflects far more light (LRV 81 vs 68), opening up a space where Light ivory encloses it. At ΔE 8.8 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Lily reads slightly lighter (LRV 81 vs 70), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 13.7 these are two genuinely different directions, not variations on a theme.
