Aplomb vs Swept Away

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Aplomb reads as grey, while Swept Away reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Swept Away (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than Aplomb (LRV 21), a difference of 42 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Aplomb runs red while Swept Away is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 40.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
