Indigo vs Yellow Bird

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Indigo belongs to the blue family and Yellow Bird to the beige-yellow family. Yellow Bird (LRV 64) reflects noticeably more light than Indigo (LRV 6), a difference of 57 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Indigo runs cool while Yellow Bird is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 88.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
