Half Moon Crest vs Ivory Lustre

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Half Moon Crest belongs to the grey family and Ivory Lustre to the beige family. Ivory Lustre (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Half Moon Crest (LRV 51), a difference of 26 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Half Moon Crest runs green while Ivory Lustre is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 20.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
