Clearlake vs Ivory White

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Clearlake belongs to the blue family and Ivory White to the beige-white family. Ivory White (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Clearlake (LRV 54), a difference of 29 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Clearlake runs blue while Ivory White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 30.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
