Buttercup vs Chantilly Lace
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Buttercup reads as beige, while Chantilly Lace reads as green-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Chantilly Lace (LRV 90) reflects noticeably more light than Buttercup (LRV 39), a difference of 51 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Buttercup runs red while Chantilly Lace is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 57.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
