Soft Cream vs Agreeable Gray
Soft Cream (PPG) and Agreeable Gray (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Soft Cream reads as beige-yellow, while Agreeable Gray reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 24-point LRV gap — 84 for Soft Cream vs 60 for Agreeable Gray — means Soft Cream will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 14.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Soft Cream 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.
