One match per brand, ranked by ΔE — a perceptual color difference score calculated from Lab color space values. Lower is closer. Click any card to compare side by side in simulated rooms.
With LRVs of 14 and 13, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 0.9 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
With LRVs of 15 and 14, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 1.0 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 15 vs 14), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 1.3 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 15 and 14, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 1.3 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.

Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 14 vs 13), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.1 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 17 vs 14), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.6 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 15 and 14, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 2.7 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
With LRVs of 15 and 14, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 2.9 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 14 vs 13), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 3.0 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
A 3-point LRV gap (17 vs 14) makes S 6000-N the marginally brighter of the two. The ΔE 4.5 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
