With LRVs of 73 and 72, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 0.9 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 73 vs 71), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.0 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
A 3-point LRV gap (73 vs 70) makes Water Lily the marginally brighter of the two. A ΔE of 1.0 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Water Lily reads slightly lighter (LRV 73 vs 69), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 1.4 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
With LRVs of 75 and 73, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 1.9 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 76 vs 73), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.1 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
