Everlasting vs Simply White

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Everlasting belongs to the beige family and Simply White to the beige-white family. Simply White (LRV 90) reflects noticeably more light than Everlasting (LRV 61), a difference of 29 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Everlasting runs red while Simply White is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 17.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
