Leisure Blue vs Travertine

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Leisure Blue belongs to the blue family and Travertine to the beige family. Travertine (LRV 68) reflects noticeably more light than Leisure Blue (LRV 25), a difference of 43 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Leisure Blue runs cool while Travertine is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 45.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
