Bellini Fizz vs Soar

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Bellini Fizz reads as beige, while Soar reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Soar (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Bellini Fizz (LRV 62), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Bellini Fizz runs warm while Soar is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 45.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
