Acadia White vs Blue Stream

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Acadia White reads as beige-white, while Blue Stream reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Acadia White (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Stream (LRV 56), a difference of 28 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Acadia White runs yellow while Blue Stream is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 21.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
