Is there a difference between LME and DME on the Lovibond scale? Im trying to piece together a recipe and am curious about the color difference between the 2.

Not really from what I have seen/used.
Sidenote FYI along those lines: I was taught when formulating recipies, to always use light extract (LME or DME) and use specialty grains to adjust the color. I was told to do this so that replicating your recipie is easier. Colors will vary from brand to brand.

I'm using brew calculus. I like it. Is there much difference in gravity between AG and Extract Brewing?
LME is supposed to be kept refrigerated, othewise it darkens
with age, so if your LME is not fresh it may not have the color
it's supposed to.
I use this free calculator a lot:
