How they read
In their own wordsRepose Gray (SW 7015) is the gray for people who want gray — not greige — but don't want it cold. A quiet warm undertone keeps it from going icy, while it still reads more gray than beige. LRV sits around 58.
Analytical Gray is a Sherwin-Williams greige with a decidedly warm, beige lean — closer to a light taupe than to a grey. At LRV 47 it is a comfortable mid-light neutral that holds its colour in both bright and dim rooms.
