Olive Grove vs Zeus
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Olive Grove reads as beige-greige, while Zeus reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Zeus (LRV 28) reflects noticeably more light than Olive Grove (LRV 20), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 11.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
