Portsmouth vs Slumber Sloth
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Portsmouth reads as blue-grey, while Slumber Sloth reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins.

Portsmouth runs neutral while Slumber Sloth is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 28.2, the contrast is hard to miss.
