Polished Concrete vs Warm Pewter

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Polished Concrete belongs to the grey family and Warm Pewter to the greige-grey family. Warm Pewter (LRV 42) reflects noticeably more light than Polished Concrete (LRV 32), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Polished Concrete runs neutral while Warm Pewter is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
