Based off the Formulas;

Agreeable Gray (SW) has a tad bit more Red in it making it a bit more on the Warm side of the grays.

The Rodeo (BM) has less red and slightly more black making it a cooler gray.

between the two of them on which is "more gray"

IMO Rodeo is closer to a True Gray.

To my eye they seem like the same color.

You have a good eye. They are very similar. To answer questions about grayness, you look at Chroma.

Agreeable Gray and Rodeo are very similar in terms of grayness, Chroma. Rodeo is slightly more gray but it's barely noticeable.

No more gray paint. How do we make that trend die.

I happen to still love grays and this is the first house we have owned where gray walls are perfect. I used Vancouver Day from C2 and it is so neutral it works with every space in my home.

I was talked into a gray by my interior designer sister. We settled on BM Balboa Mist. It is warm and,yes,misty. Give it a look.

Beverly - thank you, what a great idea. I wish I had know about this sooner.

The Colorography Lab on campchroma.com. We're adding more colors every day so check back often.

I use Encycolorpedia. Rodeo is light shade of yellow, whereas Agreeable Gray is light shade of brown.

Encycolorpedia is a hot mess of misinformation. You shouldn't use any of the data for anything - ever.

They don't measure colors to get the data.

Instead, they use an eyedropper and pick the colors from websites and/or RGB values they've downloaded. They calculate all the values from RGB - mathematically, colorimetrically that's a bad thing. There's a boatload of reasons why that's all kinds of wrong.

Don't follow a "trend" choose a color because YOU like it. I have had grays in my homes to some extent since 1986. I find it my preferred neutral. It's been pared with blues, reds, tans, pinks, greens, black and white. I always had off white walls until my first try at a wall color in 1993. can't remember the brand but it was called smoke signals. It was a true gray pulled to match my living room furniture at that time that was blue and gray. My walls now are a brownish gray that I really love - valspar smoked oyster. It pairs well with most any color I've used. I am back to liking blue again but will always use black in a room and still love red in accents.

@Lori...Ohhhhhhhh that why I wonder that I have different results when compare with easyrgb.

@celergirl, you are exactly right. EasyRGB measures colors according to intl. color standards and they use state-of-the-art spectrophotometers. They only use brand new fandecks, preferably shrink wrapped.

I know this for a fact because I'm the one that sent them many of the American fandecks to measure and add to their data base. 12 or 18 fandecks, can't remember.

Last but certainly not least, their color math is correct.
