Repose Gray vs. Agreeable Gray

Keep the dimensions nearby. Most of the trouble in these projects starts with scale. Deciding between Sherwin Williams Repose Gray vs. Agreeable Gray? I'm sharing the differences between these two paint colors to help you decide which is best for your space!

The household has been wanting to paint our foyer for a while now after finishing up removing all of the wallpaper back in September (remember that little piece of hell?!). I even bought a bunch of samples but hadn't gotten around to putting them up on the wall. Well, I finally got back on the paint-the-foyer train so this weekend I painted my samples on a wall in our foyer and The household has narrowed my choices down to two – it's Sherwin Williams Repose Gray vs. Agreeable Gray:

Here are the differences I noted in looking at Repose Gray vs. Agreeable Gray:

1. Repose Gray is slightly darker than Agreeable Gray. Repose Gray has a LRV (Light Reflectance Value) of 58 and Agreeable Gray has a LRV of 60 (the lower the LRV, the darker the paint color will look and feel once up on the wall)

2. Repose Gray has more gray in it while Agreeable Gray has more beige in it. Repose Gray can also take on a green tinge in some spaces.

I'm leaning towards Agreeable Gray. What do you think?
