Agreeable Gray vs Ice Cube
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Agreeable Gray reads as greige-grey, while Ice Cube reads as green-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 77 vs 60, Ice Cube will read as the brighter of the two — a 17-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Agreeable Gray's warm character against Ice Cube's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 9.7, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Agreeable Gray vs Ice Cube in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Agreeable Gray and Ice Cube 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
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Ice Cube returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Ice Cube will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Agreeable Gray would.

Agreeable Gray vs Ice Cube Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Agreeable Gray on one side and Ice Cube on the other.
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.
