·
Sherwin-Williams

Where Paraffin belongs to PPG's range, Agreeable Gray is a Sherwin-Williams color. Paraffin (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Agreeable Gray (LRV 60), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 7.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
