Silver Lake vs White Beet

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Silver Lake reads as blue-grey, while White Beet reads as pink-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. White Beet (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Silver Lake (LRV 53), a difference of 23 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Silver Lake runs cool while White Beet is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 15.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
