Underground Gardens vs Evergreen Fog

Underground GardensBehrvsEvergreen FogSherwin-WilliamsΔE 5.3Noticeable difference

Underground Gardens (Behr) and Evergreen Fog (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 28 vs 30 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Underground Gardens leans green, Evergreen Fog reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 5.3 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

House

A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.
