Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 10 vs 10), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 0.9 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 10 and 10, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 1.7 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Nice Cream reflects far more light (LRV 85 vs 10), opening up a space where Metropolis encloses it. At ΔE 2.2 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
A 10-point LRV gap (10 vs 0) makes Metropolis the marginally brighter of the two. A ΔE of 2.3 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 10 and 9, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 2.5 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
With LRVs of 10 and 9, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 3.0 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 10 vs 10), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 3.5 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 10 vs 10), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 3.7 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 12 vs 10), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 4.0 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 11 vs 10), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 4.0 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 11 vs 10), 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 11 vs 10), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 4.9 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
Chalet reads slightly lighter (LRV 13 vs 10), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 5.0 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
A 5-point LRV gap (15 vs 10) makes Sea Grove the marginally brighter of the two. The ΔE 10.0 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
