After the Rain vs Simply White
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, After the Rain belongs to the grey family and Simply White to the beige-white family. Simply White (LRV 90) reflects noticeably more light than After the Rain (LRV 50), a difference of 40 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. After the Rain runs red while Simply White is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 22.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
