Canoe vs Craftsman Brown
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Canoe reads as beige, while Craftsman Brown reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Canoe (LRV 34) reflects noticeably more light than Craftsman Brown (LRV 31), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 3.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
