Undertones
Agreeable Gray does not have one specific strong undertone. It really bounces/reflects the colors around it. Reddish tones will make it look more pink, golden tones make it look more yellow.
It is definitely a warm toned shade of gray. This means it reads more pink/yellow/tan and definitely not cool/icy/blue.
Best uses
Agreeable Gray is really easy to use and decorate with. It’s perfect to paint an entire home or entire room. It’s not a bold color for an accent wall or a piece of furniture, so I wouldn’t tend to choose it for that!
If you have a home with a lot of warm toned accents – travertine or similar stone tile, wood cabinets, warm toned floors – this is an easy neutral to use.
