Cocoon vs Lavender Wisp

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Cocoon reads as greige-grey, while Lavender Wisp reads as blue-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Lavender Wisp (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Cocoon (LRV 15), a difference of 68 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cocoon runs warm while Lavender Wisp is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 49.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
