Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 5 vs 3), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.3 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 5 and 3, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 6.2 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
The ΔE 7.4 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
Cherry Chocolate reads slightly lighter (LRV 8 vs 5), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 8.7 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Gooseberry reads slightly lighter (LRV 9 vs 5), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 9.9 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
A 4-point LRV gap (9 vs 5) makes Formal Maroon the marginally brighter of the two. A ΔE of 13.0 puts them firmly in different territory — a strong contrast if combined.
