Shadow Blue vs Evergreen Fog

Shadow BlueBehrvsEvergreen FogSherwin-WilliamsΔE 16.5Distinct difference

Shadow Blue is a Behr color while Evergreen Fog comes from Sherwin-Williams. Shadow Blue reads as blue, while Evergreen Fog reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 44 vs 30, Shadow Blue will read as the brighter of the two — a 14-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Shadow Blue's blue character against Evergreen Fog's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 16.5, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
