Lazy Afternoon vs Polished Concrete
Where Lazy Afternoon belongs to PPG's range, Polished Concrete is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Polished Concrete (LRV 32) reflects noticeably more light than Lazy Afternoon (LRV 29), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
