Piano Concerto vs Spring Bud
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Piano Concerto belongs to the grey family and Spring Bud to the beige-greige family. Spring Bud (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Piano Concerto (LRV 51), a difference of 22 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Piano Concerto runs red while Spring Bud is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 18.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
