Metropolitan vs Terra Bella
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Metropolitan reads as grey, while Terra Bella reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Terra Bella (LRV 54) reflects noticeably more light than Metropolitan (LRV 50), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Metropolitan runs green while Terra Bella is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 19.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
