Hostaleaf vs Lunar Tide
Both from Behr's palette. Hostaleaf reads as blue-grey, while Lunar Tide reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Lunar Tide (LRV 25) reflects noticeably more light than Hostaleaf (LRV 9), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Hostaleaf runs green and blue while Lunar Tide is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 23.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
