Upbeat vs Agreeable Gray
Upbeat (PPG) and Agreeable Gray (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Upbeat belongs to the beige family and Agreeable Gray to the greige-grey family. The 9-point LRV gap — 69 for Upbeat vs 60 for Agreeable Gray — means Upbeat will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 23.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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