Gray Mist vs Winterwood
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Gray Mist reads as beige-greige, while Winterwood reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins.

Both lean yellow, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 11.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
