Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 17 vs 14), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 0.6 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 17 and 14, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 0.8 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
With LRVs of 17 and 15, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 1.3 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 17 vs 15), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.5 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
