Armadillo vs Slate Violet
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Armadillo belongs to the greige-grey family and Slate Violet to the grey-purple family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (29 vs 29), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Armadillo runs warm while Slate Violet is decidedly neutral, 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.
