With LRVs of 18 and 18, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 0.7 you'd need them side by side to tell them apart.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 18 vs 16), so neither reads brighter in a room. A ΔE of 2.4 means the difference barely reads in a finished room.
With LRVs of 20 and 18, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 3.3 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
With LRVs of 18 and 18, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 3.6 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
With LRVs of 18 and 18, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 3.8 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.

With LRVs of 18 and 17, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 4.7 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
Their light reflectance is nearly identical (LRV 20 vs 18), so neither reads brighter in a room. The ΔE 6.3 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
With LRVs of 18 and 18, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 7.8 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
A 4-point LRV gap (18 vs 14) makes Chocolate Pudding the marginally brighter of the two. The ΔE 8.8 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
A 3-point LRV gap (18 vs 15) makes Chocolate Pudding the marginally brighter of the two. The ΔE 9.7 gap is real but not dramatic — distinct as a choice, harmonious together.
Chocolate Pudding reads slightly lighter (LRV 18 vs 13), a gap that shows most in low-lit rooms. At ΔE 9.9 they're clearly different, yet close enough to share a room.
With LRVs of 18 and 16, the two reflect almost the same amount of light. At ΔE 10.9 these are two genuinely different directions, not variations on a theme.
A 7-point LRV gap (18 vs 11) makes Chocolate Pudding the marginally brighter of the two. A ΔE of 12.3 puts them firmly in different territory — a strong contrast if combined.
