Amethyst Shadow vs Tropicana Cabana
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Amethyst Shadow reads as blue-grey, while Tropicana Cabana reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins.

Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 43.3, the contrast is hard to miss.
