Sturdy Brown vs Tigereye
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Tigereye (LRV 24) reflects noticeably more light than Sturdy Brown (LRV 8), a difference of 16 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 29.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
