Rainsong vs Wallflower
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Rainsong reads as blue, while Wallflower reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Rainsong (LRV 78) reflects noticeably more light than Wallflower (LRV 64), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 10.4, the contrast is hard to miss.
