Flowering Herbs vs Ylang Ylang
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Flowering Herbs reads as beige-greige, while Ylang Ylang reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins.

Flowering Herbs runs warm while Ylang Ylang is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 12.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
