Agreeable Gray Accent Walls

Everyone wants an accent wall. The perfect combination may be to go two shades darker than your primary color. Accent walls are a great way to add dimension to a space that may need a little jazzing up. See my accent walls below. Choose the main color for your primary walls and then select a color within the coordinating color or go bold and select a color that is the complete opposite of your colors. Because Agreeable Gray is such a neutral paint color, it pretty much can be used in combination with any color on the accent wall.

Why Does Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray Look Different In Every Room?

Lighting plays such a critical role in how paint appears throughout your home. Light that comes through in the morning tends to be cool, whereas afternoon light tends to be much warmer. Paint colors can be affected by the lighting in a room, and this is especially true for gray colors like Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray.

• In a North-facing room, which typically receives less natural light, Agreeable Gray may appear more gray or neutral in tone. The cool light coming in from the North tends to mute colors, which can make the Agreeable Gray appear less warm, and potentially more gray.
• West-facing rooms typically receive light in the afternoon and evening, when the sun is low in the sky. The light in these rooms can be warm and golden, with a yellow-orange undertone. West-facing rooms can also have a lot of glare in the afternoon.
• South-facing rooms on the other hand typically receive more natural light, Agreeable Gray may appear more warm and beige in tone. The warm light coming in from the south tends to enhance colors, which can make the Agreeable Gray appear more warm and beige, less gray.
• East-facing rooms typically receive natural light in the morning, when the sun is rising. The light in these rooms can be cool and blue-toned, with a slightly cool undertone.

It’s worth noting, however, that the effect of lighting on a paint color can also be affected by other factors such as the surrounding colors and the finish of the paint. If the room has a lot of white or light colors, Agreeable Gray will look a lot more gray and light, if there are more dark colors, it’ll look more beige.

Additionally, the paint finish you choose can also affect how Agreeable Gray appears. A flat or matte finish can make the color look more muted and less reflective, while a gloss or semi-gloss finish can make the color appear more vibrant and lively.

As always, it’s a good idea to sample the color at home and observe it during different times of the day and under different lighting conditions before committing to a full paint job, especially with east-facing rooms as the color can change quite a lot depending on the lighting conditions. This is where Samplize samples can be a life saver.
