Athabasca vs Cascade White

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Athabasca reads as blue, while Cascade White reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cascade White (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Athabasca (LRV 51), a difference of 23 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Athabasca runs cool while Cascade White is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 13.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
