GobbledygookPPGvsAgreeable GraySherwin-WilliamsΔE 36.7Very different colors

Gobbledygook (PPG) and Agreeable Gray (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Gobbledygook reads as beige-yellow, while Agreeable Gray reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 38-point LRV gap — 60 for Agreeable Gray vs 22 for Gobbledygook — means Agreeable Gray will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 36.7 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.

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.
