Free Spirit vs Agreeable Gray
Where Free Spirit belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Agreeable Gray is a Sherwin-Williams color. Free Spirit reads as beige-greige, while Agreeable Gray reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Agreeable Gray (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than Free Spirit (LRV 24), a difference of 36 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. With a ΔE of 29.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
