September Morning reflects far more light (LRV 83 vs 10), opening up a space where Pine Cone encloses it. At ΔE 2.5 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
A 3-point LRV gap (13 vs 10) makes African Queen the marginally brighter of the two. A ΔE of 2.7 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Hope Chest reads slightly lighter (LRV 13 vs 10), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 3.0 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Salon Drab reads slightly lighter (LRV 14 vs 10), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 5.7 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
