Honeywheat vs Old Glory

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Honeywheat reads as beige, while Old Glory reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Honeywheat (LRV 67) reflects noticeably more light than Old Glory (LRV 16), a difference of 51 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Honeywheat runs red while Old Glory is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 79.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
