Lead Colour vs Armadillo
Where Lead Colour belongs to Little Greene's range, Armadillo is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (28 vs 29), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Lead Colour runs yellow and red while Armadillo is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
