Niveous vs Seabrook

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Niveous reads as beige-yellow, while Seabrook reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Niveous (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Seabrook (LRV 68), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Niveous runs yellow while Seabrook is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 21.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
