Etruscan vs Agreeable Gray
Etruscan (Benjamin Moore) and Agreeable Gray (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Etruscan reads as beige, while Agreeable Gray reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 34-point LRV gap — 60 for Agreeable Gray vs 26 for Etruscan — means Agreeable Gray will open up a space more effectively. Where Etruscan leans red, Agreeable Gray reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 36.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Etruscan on one side and Agreeable Gray on the other.
Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
