Closest matches across every brand
One match per brand, ranked by ΔE — a perceptual color difference score calculated from Lab color space values. Lower is closer. Click any card to compare side by side in simulated rooms.
With LRVs of 16 and 15, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 1.4 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
With LRVs of 15 and 15, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 2.7 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
With LRVs of 15 and 14, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 3.2 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
A 3-point LRV gap (18 vs 15) makes Natural Green the marginally brighter of the two. The ΔE 5.8 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
A 5-point LRV gap (20 vs 15) makes Reed green the marginally brighter of the two. The ΔE 6.5 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 15 vs 14), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 7.0 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
