Mist vs Agreeable Gray
Mist (Jotun) and Agreeable Gray (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Mist reads as beige-greige, while Agreeable Gray reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 14-point LRV gap — 74 for Mist vs 60 for Agreeable Gray — means Mist will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 7.4 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Mist vs Agreeable Gray in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Mist 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
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Mist reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Agreeable Gray.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Mist returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The LRV gap is large enough that Mist will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Agreeable Gray would.

Mist vs Agreeable Gray Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Mist 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.
