The difference

Read from the numbers

Tundra is the lighter of the two at LRV 77.07, 16.7 points above Agreeable Gray at LRV 60.386. Agreeable Gray leans warm where Tundra reads cool. Agreeable Gray is a beige, Tundra a white. For a whole room, Tundra 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.

Tundra is the off-white for people who find most whites too creamy. Its LRV of 77 puts it in soft-white territory, but the base is a cool, faintly green-blue grey, so it reads clean and quiet rather than warm. On plaster mouldings and in rooms with a lot of daylight it looks like fresh air.
