Luminaire vs Agreeable Gray
Where Luminaire belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Agreeable Gray is a Sherwin-Williams color. Hue-wise, Luminaire belongs to the beige-yellow family and Agreeable Gray to the greige-grey family. Luminaire (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Agreeable Gray (LRV 60), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Luminaire 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 20.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
