Consider uses of the word ‘similar’: We say these two pieces of paper have similar colour if it is difficult for us to distinguish them to say which of them is darker. Now compare the experience of difficulty to say which is darker with that || the experience of similarity when it is impossible not to distinguish them but when I say I like my trousers & jacket to have similar colours so as not to have too strong a contrast.
