Classic Gray vs Agreeable Gray
Where Classic Gray belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Agreeable Gray is a Sherwin-Williams color. Hue-wise, Classic Gray belongs to the beige-greige family and Agreeable Gray to the greige-grey family. Classic Gray (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Agreeable Gray (LRV 60), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 7.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
