Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 18 vs 18), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.5 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Pigeon blue reads slightly lighter (LRV 22 vs 18), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 2.0 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 2.0 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 18 vs 18), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.3 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
A 3-point LRV gap (21 vs 18) makes Blue Beads the marginally brighter of the two. The ΔE 3.2 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
