Silver Crest vs Agreeable Gray
Where Silver Crest belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Agreeable Gray is a Sherwin-Williams color. Silver Crest reads as green-grey, while Agreeable Gray reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Silver Crest (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Agreeable Gray (LRV 60), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Silver Crest runs green while Agreeable Gray is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
