Both from PPG's palette. Oatmeal reads as beige-greige, while Singing The Blues reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Oatmeal (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Singing The Blues (LRV 7), a difference of 69 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 64.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
