Waynesboro Taupe vs Agreeable Gray

Waynesboro Taupe (Benjamin Moore) and Agreeable Gray (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. The 27-point LRV gap — 60 for Agreeable Gray vs 33 for Waynesboro Taupe — means Agreeable Gray will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 18.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

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