Agreeable Gray vs Blue Iris
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Agreeable Gray belongs to the greige-grey family and Blue Iris to the blue-grey family. Blue Iris (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Agreeable Gray (LRV 60), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Agreeable Gray runs warm while Blue Iris is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
