What Kind Of Color Is Agreeable Gray SW 7029?

What a silly question, some of you might think.

The hue’s name states it is gray, so apparently, this is the answer! Nevertheless, we would not hurry up that much.

For an amateur in coloristic, this tint will probably seem to be gray indeed with pretty warm notes but since it is a member of the neutrals family, it has certain specifics.

In particular, according to the credible source Encycolorpedia , this hue belongs to the greige hues family.Generally, it is all about its undertones that make the hue show up in slightly diverse ways hanging upon particular conditions.

In some spaces it may be revealed closer to gray whilst in others, the hue will turn into a more beige-like coating.

But in general, if we take a look at the hue sample applied to the surface, it will show up as warm and relatively deep grey with a noticeable beige tint.

But don’t be alarmed, this paint is far from browns so it will not create that “muddy” appearance.

Also, it is not the one that will reveal yellowish hints – another issue that customers are afraid of so much.

Agreeable Gray And Light

Like any neutral greige, SW Agreeable Gray strongly hangs upon lighting around.

Its light reflectance value or LRV is sixty (60) which means that the hue is a rather good reflector and it gives back a good amount of lighting. Nevertheless, in a wrongly lit space, it can show up from quite an unexpected side revealing purple and bluish tints!

Also, the type of colors around matters a lot for the undertones of the hue. Oh, those undertones!

They are the biggest pain for those who are not familiar with coloristic nuances and who tend to select and purchase paints randomly.

See, when we buy a can of paint without considering its “background”, we take a huge risk of ending up with a surface of a rather different color from what we expected.

So what about the AG? Well, it can be literally called a miraculous hue since its undertones are ideally balanced. No suddenly evoking greens or sneaky blues, just neutral taupe/brown dash with a gentle, almost invisible, and delicate dab of violet. As a result, we have a perfect balance between cool and warm tones.

But still, please take into consideration that the surroundings lighting plays an important role!

It is true that in cooler lighting this hue will be revealed as a cool hue too, nevertheless, wrong lighting can turn it into almost blue paint!

The best what one can do is to memorize how distinct types of light can affect this hue:

• In North-facing chambers the AG will be revealed as a muted and cooler tint.
• In a South-facing chamber that usually has a consistent warm light during the daytime, this lighting will make the tints more intense. In such a chamber, the AG will show all of its warmth.
• As for the West-facing zones, lighting is cooler there in the morning and warmer (nearly overwhelming) early in the evening. Respectively, such hue as the AG will wear its warmth to the full in a red-orange hue of the afternoon lighting.
• If applied in a room that faces East, the AG will show a cooler in the morning.

We hope that now it will be simpler for you to figure out how this hue will show up under various lighting conditions.

Agreeable Gray Undertones

Agreeable Gray by Sherwin Williams belongs to the family of so-called greige paint colors which means that it is a rather tricky color itself!

Greiges are known for having complicated undertones that can significantly influence the way the certain color shows itself on the wall.

Also, greige paints are often rather sensitive to lighting (again, because of their undertones!).

This is why it is a common issue when, for example, a paint that looks like a nice and balanced beige, reveals its greenish or muddy undertones in a wrong light!

So if you decide to pick up Agreeable Gray paint color for your interior painting projects, we recommend you take its undertones into consideration! What you should know is that Agreeable Gray is technically a gray paint color that has a warm, beige undertone.

Of course, depending on the light, it may lean more into either its beige or gray side.

But generally, it is slightly warmer in warm and bright light. In darker spaces with cool lighting, this paint color will reveal itself as a little grayer shade.

However, Agreeable Gray is one of the purest types of greige.

So if you want to use the traditional greige paint color in your home, this one is definitely the one you are looking for!

What Is the Best Trim Color For Agreeable Gray?

Trims are used for both decorative and practical purposes. On the one hand, they cover the gaps between two areas like a wall and a ceiling, but on the other hand, trims enhance the total look of the room, setting the style and tone to it.

This is why it is so important to choose the trim color correctly!

Since Agreeable Gray belongs to the family of greige colors, it means that white will be the optimal choice when looking for the best trim colors to combine it with your Agreeable walls.

However, knowing that it is white is not enough!

Such a seemingly simple color as white is highly reflective which means you must be very careful when picking the shades of white that will create a harmonious ensemble with your greige walls.

Speaking of SW Agreeable Gray, you can easily pair with such whites as:

• SW Extra White (CHECK A SAMPLE)  (you will get a really bright white trim)
• BM Decorator’s White (not too bright since this white has a hint of gray in it)
• SW Pure White  (CHECK A SAMPLE) (similar to Decorator’s White only being a smudge brighter)

And in addition, you’d better avoid any warmer white shades, such as BM Simply White
