With LRVs of 25 and 23, 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 23 vs 23), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.1 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 24 and 23, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 2.2 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
With LRVs of 26 and 23, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 4.8 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Olive yellow reads slightly lighter (LRV 29 vs 23), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 6.7 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
With LRVs of 25 and 23, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 7.4 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
A 6-point LRV gap (29 vs 23) makes Cinnamon Scone the marginally brighter of the two. The ΔE 9.5 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
Conglomerate reads slightly lighter (LRV 26 vs 23), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 9.8 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 26 vs 23), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 10.8 puts them firmly in different territory — a strong contrast if combined.
S 4010-Y50R reads slightly lighter (LRV 30 vs 23), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 12.0 these are two genuinely different directions, not variations on a theme.
