Blaze vs Orient red
Where Blaze belongs to PPG's range, Orient red is a RAL Classic color. Both sit in the pink-red family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Orient red (LRV 14) reflects noticeably more light than Blaze (LRV 10), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 8.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
