Aleutian vs Fragile Beauty
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Aleutian reads as blue, while Fragile Beauty reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Fragile Beauty (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Aleutian (LRV 38), a difference of 31 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Aleutian runs cool while Fragile Beauty is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 27.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
