The difference

Read from the numbers

Agreeable Gray leans warm where Silver Metallic reads cool. Agreeable Gray is a beige, Silver Metallic a gray.

How they read

In their own words

Agreeable Gray (SW 7029) is the color that turned 'greige' into a household word. With an LRV of about 60 it sits right in the comfortable middle — light enough to keep a room open, deep enough to read as a true color rather than an off-white.

Silver Metallic is a Meoded decorative plaster rather than a flat paint — a pewter-toned finish with a pearl sheen that shifts as you move through the room. In daylight it reads as a soft warm grey; at night, with candles and lamps, it glimmers like brushed metal.
