Lead ColourLittle GreenevsLazy AfternoonPPGΔE 4.0Noticeable difference

Where Lead Colour belongs to Little Greene's range, Lazy Afternoon is a PPG color. Lead Colour reads as greige-grey, while Lazy Afternoon reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (28 vs 29), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. The ΔE 4.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
