Vanilla Latte vs Agreeable Gray
Where Vanilla Latte belongs to Jotun's range, Agreeable Gray is a Sherwin-Williams color. Vanilla Latte reads as beige, while Agreeable Gray reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Vanilla Latte (LRV 71) reflects noticeably more light than Agreeable Gray (LRV 60), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 7.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Vanilla Latte vs Agreeable Gray in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Vanilla Latte 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 Vanilla Latte will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Agreeable Gray would.
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. Vanilla Latte 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. Vanilla Latte reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Agreeable Gray.

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.
