What this can and cannot tell you: each pairing compares two shades' colours as sampled from retailer swatch images, which are not calibrated and are not how a shade looks on lips. It does not predict the colour you get when you layer them. A sheer gloss lets more of the colour underneath show than an opaque one, and your natural lip colour shows through sheer products.
