Welded Iron vs Dark Lead Colour
Where Welded Iron belongs to Behr's range, Dark Lead Colour is a Little Greene color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (16 vs 15), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Welded Iron runs yellow while Dark Lead Colour is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.9, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
