Avocado vs Gray Mirage
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Avocado belongs to the yellow family and Gray Mirage to the beige-greige family. Gray Mirage (LRV 54) reflects noticeably more light than Avocado (LRV 17), a difference of 37 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Avocado runs warm while Gray Mirage is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 39.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
