New Hope Gray vs Woodcliff Lake
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. New Hope Gray reads as blue-grey, while Woodcliff Lake reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. New Hope Gray (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than Woodcliff Lake (LRV 17), a difference of 22 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. New Hope Gray runs blue while Woodcliff Lake is decidedly red, 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.
