Aegean Teal vs Wheatberry
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Aegean Teal reads as blue-grey, while Wheatberry reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins.

Aegean Teal runs blue while Wheatberry is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 38.0, the contrast is hard to miss.
