Flame vs Metallic Silver

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Flame reads as pink-red, while Metallic Silver reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Metallic Silver (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Flame (LRV 21), a difference of 36 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Flame runs red while Metallic Silver is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 80.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
