Arctic Dawn vs Agreeable Gray
Arctic Dawn (PPG) and Agreeable Gray (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Arctic Dawn belongs to the blue-white family and Agreeable Gray to the greige-grey family. The 19-point LRV gap — 79 for Arctic Dawn vs 60 for Agreeable Gray — means Arctic Dawn will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 11.6 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.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Arctic Dawn 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.
