All-a-Blaze vs Gray Mist

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. All-a-Blaze reads as pink-red, while Gray Mist reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Gray Mist (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than All-a-Blaze (LRV 37), a difference of 36 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. All-a-Blaze runs red while Gray Mist is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 45.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
