Many manufacturers use the same name for colors that appear different when compared. Yellow Ochre would be a good example of this. Then there is the confusion caused by different companies giving the same color different names. I use W&N's Terra Rosa or Michael Harding's Venetian Red in place of the Light Red on Paxton's palette.

The bottom line is that the color is secondary to how you use it.
