Silver MoonJotunvsAgreeable GraySherwin-WilliamsΔE 8.1Noticeable difference

Silver Moon (Jotun) and Agreeable Gray (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Silver Moon reads as grey, while Agreeable Gray reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 9-point LRV gap — 60 for Agreeable Gray vs 52 for Silver Moon — means Agreeable Gray will open up a space more effectively. Where Silver Moon leans neutral, Agreeable Gray reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 8.1 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Silver Moon vs Agreeable Gray in Real Spaces

3 real rooms side by side. Silver Moon 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

A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Agreeable Gray reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Silver Moon.

Bedroom

Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Agreeable Gray returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Dining Room

Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The LRV gap is large enough that Agreeable Gray will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Silver Moon would.

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.
