Gauzy White vs Inkwell

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Gauzy White reads as beige-greige, while Inkwell reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Gauzy White (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Inkwell (LRV 4), a difference of 68 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Gauzy White runs warm while Inkwell is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 66.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
