Blissful Blue vs Palisade

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Blissful Blue reads as blue, while Palisade reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Blissful Blue (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than Palisade (LRV 35), a difference of 21 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blissful Blue runs cool while Palisade is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 22.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
