Braintree vs Connected Gray
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Braintree reads as grey, while Connected Gray reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Connected Gray (LRV 23) reflects noticeably more light than Braintree (LRV 12), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Braintree runs neutral while Connected Gray is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 14.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
