In real rooms

Every room, each color

The difference

Read from the numbers

Silver Satin is the lighter of the two at LRV 74.9, 14.5 points above Agreeable Gray at LRV 60.386. Both read warm. Agreeable Gray is a beige, Silver Satin a white. For a whole room, Silver Satin is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Agreeable Gray is the bolder pick.

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 Satin is the quiet professional of the off-white world — soft, low-chroma, and just warm enough to never read as stark. In a north-facing room it settles into a calm greige; in afternoon sun it lifts to a clean, milky white without ever turning yellow.
