Tarragon vs Teakwood

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Tarragon belongs to the blue-grey family and Teakwood to the greige-grey family. Teakwood (LRV 22) reflects noticeably more light than Tarragon (LRV 7), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Tarragon runs cool while Teakwood is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 27.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
