Feather Down vs Agreeable Gray
Where Feather Down belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Agreeable Gray is a Sherwin-Williams color. Feather Down reads as beige, while Agreeable Gray reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Feather Down (LRV 73) 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 8.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
