Heather Gray vs Spanish White
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Heather Gray belongs to the green-grey family and Spanish White to the beige-white family.

Heather Gray runs green while Spanish White is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 26.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
