The difference

Read from the numbers

Agreeable Gray is the lighter of the two at LRV 60.386, 4.6 points above Grant Beige at LRV 55.81. Both read warm. Both belong to the beige family. For a whole room, Agreeable Gray is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Grant Beige is the bolder pick.

How they read

In their own words

Grant Beige balances beige and grey in nearly equal measure — the textbook greige. A slight yellow-gold undertone adds warmth, while the grey content keeps it from ever reading sweet or sandy. It is the safe, sophisticated neutral that anchors a whole-home palette.

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.
