Where Truffles belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Agreeable Gray is a Sherwin-Williams color. Hue-wise, Truffles belongs to the beige family and Agreeable Gray to the greige-grey family. Truffles (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. The ΔE 6.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Truffles vs Agreeable Gray in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Truffles and Agreeable Gray are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Truffles will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Agreeable Gray would.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Truffles reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Agreeable Gray.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Truffles reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Agreeable Gray.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Truffles returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Truffles reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Agreeable Gray.

Truffles vs Agreeable Gray Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Truffles on one side and Agreeable Gray on the other.
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.
