Croquet vs Agreeable Gray
Where Croquet belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Agreeable Gray is a Sherwin-Williams color. Croquet reads as grey, while Agreeable Gray reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Agreeable Gray (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than Croquet (LRV 45), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Croquet runs yellow while Agreeable Gray is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 11.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
