Feather Gray vs Sea Salt
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Feather Gray belongs to the blue-grey family and Sea Salt to the beige-greige family. Sea Salt (LRV 61) reflects noticeably more light than Feather Gray (LRV 58), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Feather Gray runs blue while Sea Salt is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 10.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
