Cloud White vs Scenic Drive
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Cloud White reads as beige-white, while Scenic Drive reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cloud White (LRV 85) reflects noticeably more light than Scenic Drive (LRV 40), a difference of 45 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cloud White runs yellow while Scenic Drive is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 27.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
