Frost Bite vs Lakeside
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Frost Bite reads as beige, while Lakeside reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Frost Bite (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than Lakeside (LRV 47), a difference of 41 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Frost Bite runs warm while Lakeside is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 23.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
