Chocolate Pudding vs Odessa Pink

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Chocolate Pudding reads as beige-greige, while Odessa Pink reads as beige-pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Odessa Pink (LRV 59) reflects noticeably more light than Chocolate Pudding (LRV 18), a difference of 42 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 34.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
