Badlands vs White River

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Badlands reads as pink-red, while White River reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. White River (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Badlands (LRV 25), a difference of 49 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Badlands runs red while White River is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 45.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
