Creole Cottage vs Sporty Blue
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Creole Cottage reads as beige, while Sporty Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins.

Creole Cottage runs warm while Sporty Blue is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 48.2, the contrast is hard to miss.
