What is the subtle distinction between "contradictory" and "paradoxical"?

Paradoxical appears to be false but may (or may not) be true.
Example, "Standing is more tiring than walking". It looks false but you can walk for an hour - then try to stand in one place for an hour. Paradoxical refers to one statement or more.
Contradictory - This is two or more statements which cannot both be correct. Example, "My hair is 100% red" and "My hair is 100% black". Those are two statements that cannot both be true.
It's not really that subtle.
