Blissful Blue vs Griffin

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Blissful Blue reads as blue, while Griffin reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Blissful Blue (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than Griffin (LRV 13), a difference of 43 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blissful Blue runs cool while Griffin is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 41.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
