Agreeable Gray vs Plaster
Where Agreeable Gray belongs to Sherwin-Williams's range, Plaster is a Tikkurila color. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Agreeable Gray (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than Plaster (LRV 57), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Agreeable Gray vs Plaster in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Agreeable Gray and Plaster 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.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Agreeable Gray reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Agreeable Gray has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Agreeable Gray on one side and Plaster 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.
