Agreeable Gray vs Sagey
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Agreeable Gray belongs to the greige-grey family and Sagey to the beige-greige family. Sagey (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. Agreeable Gray runs warm while Sagey is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
