RAL 750-1 vs Agreeable Gray

RAL 750-1RAL EffectvsAgreeable GraySherwin-WilliamsΔE 11.3Distinct difference

RAL 750-1 (RAL Effect) and Agreeable Gray (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. RAL 750-1 reads as green, while Agreeable Gray reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 62 vs 60 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. A ΔE of 11.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Living Room

Kitchen

Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

Bathroom

Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

Kitchen Cabinets

Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

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.
