Indian White vs Pewter Green
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Indian White belongs to the beige-white family and Pewter Green to the green-grey family. Indian White (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Pewter Green (LRV 12), a difference of 60 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Indian White runs warm while Pewter Green is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 48.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
