If the reference standard hydrogen half-cell were assigned a value of E°= -0.10 V instead of its customary value of 0.00 V, then the cell potential DE° for any chosen electrochemical cell would

The cell potential difference is relative, so changing the reference point by a constant value does not affect the difference between the two half-cell potentials.
