Agreeable Gray: The Best Greige Paint Color Complete Analysis (1)

SHERWIN-WILLIAMS AGREEABLE GRAY

As far as undertones, Agreeable Gray is a great warm light gray and could be considered one of the best greige paint colors. In certain light conditions, you can see a yellowish or slight green tint to it; but, I don’t think the undertones are substantial. When you see the color on the wall it truly reads as a warm greige or light gray. You can see in the graphic below how it compares to similar light gray paint colors from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore.

Two of Sherwin-Williams most popular warm gray paint colors. You can see side by side that Accessible Beige has more taupe in it but is overall very similar to Agreeable Gray.

SW AGREEABLE-GRAY VS. REPOSE GRAY:Agreeable Gray: The Best Greige Paint Color Complete Analysis (6)

Two of Sherwin-Williams most popular gray paint colors are shown side by side in the above graphic. (See my complete review of Repose Gray here.) You can see from comparing the two, that Agreeable Gray is much warmer than Repose Gray and in comparison more of a greige than a true gray. Both are fantastic colors and if you were stuck deciding between the two, I would recommend doing SW Agreeable Gray in a northern-facing room and Repose Gray in a southern facing room (which receives more sunlight.)

These tools have literally saved me DAYS of painting and cut my time painting by 66%! I only wish I knew about them and made the under $10 purchase before!

  • Abrasive Hand Pad
    • Use this instead of sandpaper. Using sandpaper will rub off too much of the varnish and the stain on your oak wood trim will permeate your newly painted white paint. We use these abrasive pads everywhere instead of sandpaper.
  • Paint Pad– save yourself HOURS by buying this under $10 painting tool!
  • Paint Trim Guard
    • You are going to want this if you have wall-to-wall carpeting or hardwood floors that you want to protect. I use it along with Painter’s Tape to ensure that I don’t have drips on my floor.
