The Prettiest Agreeable Gray Coordinating Colors For A Neutral Color Scheme
This post is all about the best Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray coordinating colors you can use in your home.
Agreeable Gray is one of Sherwin Williams’ most popular neutral colors.
And even though it has “gray” in its name, we could really call this a “greige” thanks to the blending of grey and beige in it.
Understanding the Agreeable Gray undertones and LRV
Before we can pick a whole home color scheme for Agreeable Gray, we’ve got to understand more about the color itself.
Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray has an LRV of 60. This means it sits at just above the half-way point between completely black (LRV of 0) and brightest white (LRV of 100).
Even though it’s technically a cool paint color, the beige undertones of Agreeable Gray are warm and balance out the coolness of the gray.
So, now that we know those details, we can create a color palette of complimentary colors to Agreeable Gray.
What color goes with Agreeable Gray?
You’ll want to choose complimentary and accent colors that will provide contrast while also balancing the warm beige undertones of Agreeable Gray.
Be sure to avoid paint colors that are too similar.
For example, you wouldn’t want to use Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore with Agreeable Gray because, even though there are subtle differences, these colors are still too alike and would clash if used together.
How to create a Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray color palette
A lot of homeowners make the mistake of using too many paint colors around their house.
If you’re wanting to create a whole house color scheme around Agreeable Gray, it’s best to stick to just 3 – 5 colors, including your main paint color.
I’d recommend choosing one white paint color, one dark grey or black color, and one accent color to use along with Agreeable Gray.

Because Agreeable Gray can pretty much be used as a neutral, you could use just about any other color with it.
What you absolutely should AVOID at all costs is pairing Agreeable Gray with a creamy white. If you do this, the creamy white will look dingy yellow, and the Agreeable Gray will fall flat.
Some of my favorite coordinating colors to pair with Agreeable Gray are:
- SW Extra White – A crisp warm white that looks especially great on trim and millwork.
- SW Krypton – A cool, light blue-gray.
- SW Comfort Gray – A cool, green-gray.
- SW Riverway – A rich blue with green-gray undertones.
- SW Iron Ore – A dark charcoal grey that reads more as a soft black.
