With LRVs of 65 and 62, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 0.5 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 62 vs 62), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 0.7 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 62 vs 62), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 0.7 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 63 and 62, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 1.1 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
With LRVs of 62 and 61, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 1.1 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.

Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 63 vs 62), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.8 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 62 and 61, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 1.9 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 63 vs 62), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.1 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 62 vs 62), 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 62 vs 62), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.9 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
RAL 840-2 reads slightly lighter (LRV 66 vs 62), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 4.3 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
A 5-point LRV gap (67 vs 62) makes Grey white the marginally brighter of the two. The ΔE 4.6 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
