What causes certain people of similar skin tone to blush more strongly/frequently than others?

I know some people just have more frequent/stronger sympathetic nervous responses to various stimuli, but that doesn't exactly explain why some people can be so embarrassed they want to die yet only show a slight flush, or filled with rage without getting red in the face. What other factors are there that would dictate the extent of someone's blushing?
