Sanctuary vs Saybrook Sage
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction.

Sanctuary runs red while Saybrook Sage is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 16.3, the contrast is hard to miss.
