Dark Pewter vs Light Khaki
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Dark Pewter belongs to the blue-grey family and Light Khaki to the beige family. Light Khaki (LRV 54) reflects noticeably more light than Dark Pewter (LRV 11), a difference of 44 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Dark Pewter runs blue while Light Khaki is decidedly yellow and red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 49.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
