Cloud Cover vs Northern Lights

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Cloud Cover belongs to the beige-greige family and Northern Lights to the green family. Cloud Cover (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Northern Lights (LRV 43), a difference of 38 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cloud Cover runs warm while Northern Lights is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 35.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
