Chantilly Lace vs Instinct
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Chantilly Lace reads as green-white, while Instinct reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins.

Chantilly Lace runs green while Instinct is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 19.8, the contrast is hard to miss.
