Urbane Grey vs Polished Concrete
Where Urbane Grey belongs to Little Greene's range, Polished Concrete is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Urbane Grey (LRV 35) reflects noticeably more light than Polished Concrete (LRV 32), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Urbane Grey runs yellow while Polished Concrete is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
