With LRVs of 8 and 8, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 2.6 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
With LRVs of 9 and 8, 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 8 and 5, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 3.5 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 8 vs 8), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 4.2 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 8 vs 6), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 4.2 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 10 vs 8), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 5.8 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
With LRVs of 9 and 8, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 6.2 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
