Futon vs Lakeside
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Futon belongs to the beige family and Lakeside to the blue-grey family. Futon (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Lakeside (LRV 47), a difference of 33 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Futon runs warm while Lakeside is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 21.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
