Bermuda Teal vs Pristine

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Bermuda Teal reads as blue, while Pristine reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Pristine (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Bermuda Teal (LRV 60), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Bermuda Teal runs green and blue while Pristine is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 36.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
