Harlequin Blue vs Meadow Mist
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Harlequin Blue reads as blue, while Meadow Mist reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Meadow Mist (LRV 78) reflects noticeably more light than Harlequin Blue (LRV 38), a difference of 40 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Harlequin Blue runs blue while Meadow Mist is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 34.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
