Litchfield Gray vs Mayflower Red
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Litchfield Gray reads as beige-greige, while Mayflower Red reads as beige-pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins.

Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 42.1, the contrast is hard to miss.
