With LRVs of 34 and 33, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 1.9 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
A 4-point LRV gap (34 vs 30) makes RAL 280-6 the marginally brighter of the two. A ΔE of 2.6 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 35 vs 34), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 6.9 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
Plantain Chips reads slightly lighter (LRV 40 vs 34), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 7.2 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Sun Dust 2 reflects far more light (LRV 49 vs 34), opening up a space where RAL 280-6 encloses it. At ΔE 10.0 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Yellow-Pink reads slightly lighter (LRV 42 vs 34), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 10.2 these are two genuinely different directions, not variations on a theme.

With LRVs of 37 and 34, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 13.0 these are two genuinely different directions, not variations on a theme.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 34 vs 33), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 23.1 puts them firmly in different territory — a strong contrast if combined.
