Straw Harvest vs Whitetail
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Straw Harvest reads as beige, while Whitetail reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Whitetail (LRV 86) reflects noticeably more light than Straw Harvest (LRV 59), a difference of 27 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 20.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
