Angora vs Vaguely Mauve
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Hue-wise, Angora belongs to the beige-greige family and Vaguely Mauve to the grey family. With LRVs of 57 and 57, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. They share a warm quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 3.2, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Angora vs Vaguely Mauve in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Angora and Vaguely Mauve 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.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.

Angora vs Vaguely Mauve Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Angora on one side and Vaguely Mauve 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.
