Quarry Stone vs Snowbound
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Quarry Stone reads as greige-grey, while Snowbound reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Snowbound (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Quarry Stone (LRV 27), a difference of 55 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 34.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
