Agreeable Gray vs Fleur De Sel
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Agreeable Gray reads as greige-grey, while Fleur De Sel reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Fleur De Sel (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Agreeable Gray (LRV 60), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Agreeable Gray runs warm while Fleur De Sel is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Agreeable Gray vs Fleur De Sel in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Agreeable Gray and Fleur De Sel are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Fleur De Sel will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Agreeable Gray would.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Fleur De Sel reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Agreeable Gray.
House
Seen across an entire facade, subtle tonal differences become pronounced. What reads as nearly the same on a chip often reads as clearly different at scale. Fleur De Sel reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Agreeable Gray.

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.
