Sleet vs Agreeable Gray
Sleet is a Cloverdale Paint color while Agreeable Gray comes from Sherwin-Williams. Sleet reads as grey, while Agreeable Gray reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 60 vs 55, Agreeable Gray will read as the brighter of the two — a 5-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 4.5, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Sleet vs Agreeable Gray in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Sleet and Agreeable Gray are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Agreeable Gray has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The brightness difference is modest but present — Agreeable Gray gives the walls a little more lift.
Kitchen
Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The brightness difference is modest but present — Agreeable Gray gives the walls a little more lift.
Dining Room
Dining room light is typically the warmest in the house, which shifts both colors toward the red end of the spectrum compared to daylight. Agreeable Gray reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The brightness difference is modest but present — Agreeable Gray gives the walls a little more lift.

Sleet vs Agreeable Gray Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Sleet on one side and Agreeable Gray on the other.
Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
