Pleasant Valley vs Winter Wheat
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Pleasant Valley reads as green-grey, while Winter Wheat reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Winter Wheat (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Pleasant Valley (LRV 50), a difference of 24 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Pleasant Valley runs green while Winter Wheat is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 16.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
