Charcoal Linen vs Sand Dollar
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Charcoal Linen belongs to the grey family and Sand Dollar to the beige family.

Charcoal Linen runs blue while Sand Dollar is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 40.8, the contrast is hard to miss.
