Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 20 vs 20), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 0.7 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 21 and 20, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 0.8 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 20 vs 20), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.1 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 20 and 20, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 1.8 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
With LRVs of 20 and 18, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 3.1 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 21 vs 20), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 3.3 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
With LRVs of 23 and 20, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 3.5 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
At LRV 35 vs 20, Pearl beige is decisively the brighter choice. The ΔE 4.5 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
With LRVs of 22 and 20, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 5.0 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 21 vs 20), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 8.5 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
S 4010-Y50R reads slightly lighter (LRV 30 vs 20), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 10.4 these are two genuinely different directions, not variations on a theme.
