Chalk White vs Poolside Blue

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Chalk White belongs to the green-white family and Poolside Blue to the blue family. Chalk White (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Poolside Blue (LRV 40), a difference of 43 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Chalk White runs green while Poolside Blue is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 45.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
