Armadillo vs Polished Concrete
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Armadillo belongs to the greige-grey family and Polished Concrete to the grey family. Polished Concrete (LRV 32) reflects noticeably more light than Armadillo (LRV 29), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Armadillo runs warm while Polished Concrete is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
