Ochre White vs Agreeable Gray
Where Ochre White belongs to Dulux's range, Agreeable Gray is a Sherwin-Williams color. Ochre White reads as beige-white, while Agreeable Gray reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Ochre White (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Agreeable Gray (LRV 60), a difference of 22 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 9.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
