Lunar Lite vs Sea Mariner

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Lunar Lite reads as greige-grey, while Sea Mariner reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Lunar Lite (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Sea Mariner (LRV 7), a difference of 66 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lunar Lite runs warm while Sea Mariner is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 57.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
