China Doll vs Agreeable Gray
China Doll (PPG) and Agreeable Gray (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. China Doll reads as beige, while Agreeable Gray reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 19-point LRV gap — 79 for China Doll vs 60 for Agreeable Gray — means China Doll will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 10.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
