Raucous Orange vs Sockeye

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Raucous Orange belongs to the beige-pink family and Sockeye to the pink-red family. Sockeye (LRV 40) reflects noticeably more light than Raucous Orange (LRV 18), a difference of 22 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 31.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
