Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 28 vs 28), 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 28 vs 28), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.4 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 30 and 28, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 2.3 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 31 vs 28), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 3.8 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 28 vs 26), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 5.1 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
A 3-point LRV gap (31 vs 28) makes Pure Earth the marginally brighter of the two. The ΔE 5.3 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
