Sundew vs Westhighland White
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Sundew reads as beige, while Westhighland White reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Westhighland White (LRV 86) reflects noticeably more light than Sundew (LRV 63), a difference of 23 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 16.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
