Fireball Orange vs Paradiso

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Fireball Orange belongs to the pink-red family and Paradiso to the blue family. Paradiso (LRV 51) reflects noticeably more light than Fireball Orange (LRV 19), a difference of 32 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Fireball Orange runs red while Paradiso is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 73.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
