Alabaster vs Sand Dollar
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Alabaster belongs to the beige-greige family and Sand Dollar to the beige family. Alabaster (LRV 85) reflects noticeably more light than Sand Dollar (LRV 82), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 1.4, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
