If you’ve spent any time searching for the perfect neutral paint color, chances are you’ve come across Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray. This is for good reason!

This wildly popular greige has earned its reputation as a reliable (again for good reason) paint color that works in a wide range of homes. From open concept living spaces to cozy bedrooms, Agreeable Gray works. It has a way of quietly blending, think “whole house neutral” in while still elevating the space beyond builder beige or white.

Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray SW 7029 is a light greige that sits right between gray and beige. With an LRV of 60, it reflects a good amount of light without feeling washed out or too bright.

This sweet spotlight reflective value helps create a soft, versatile, and incredibly adaptable paint color. This versatility helps make it a go-to recommendation for homeowners who want a neutral that won’t feel dated in a few years.

Agreeable Gray is a warm gray, thanks to its subtle beige undertones. That warm and subtle undertone keeps it from feeling cold or sterile, especially compared to cooler grays.

However, lighting plays a big role. North-facing rooms may pull Agreeable Gray slightly grayer, while warmer light will bring out its cozy side.

This balanced undertone is exactly what makes it so “agreeable.”

One of Agreeable Gray’s biggest strengths is how easily it pairs with other colors. It looks especially lovely with:

· Soft whites and creamy off-whites

· Muted blues, mid tones blues and blue-grays

· Soft greens and sage tones

· Charcoal or navy for contrast

· Especially pretty with warm wood tones (oak, maple, walnut)

Whether your style leans modern, transitional, or traditional, Agreeable Gray plays well with a wide range of palettes.

Agreeable Gray is a color that works almost anywhere:

Kitchens: Beautiful on walls, especially with white or wood cabinetry

While it’s most often used as an interior color, Agreeable Gray can also work on exteriors in certain settings. Best when paired with crisp white trim and darker accents. Just be sure to sample first, as outdoor light can shift its appearance.

Agreeable Gray pairs best with warm, soft whites rather than stark, bright ones. Some favorite trim options include:

Sherwin Williams Pure White is my top pick to mix with Agreeable Gray. Crisp and clean with a warm undertone creates the perfect mix.

The choice between the two above options depends on how much contrast you want and the overall warmth of your space.

Even with its popularity, I always recommend sampling Agreeable Gray in your own home.

Paint large swatches or use peel-and-stick samples. Observe the samples throughout the day. Watch how it shifts in morning versus evening light and how it interacts with your flooring, furniture, and fixed finishes.

This step can make all the difference in feeling confident about your choice.
