Downtown vs Evergreen Fog
Where Downtown belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Evergreen Fog is a Sherwin-Williams color. Downtown reads as greige-grey, while Evergreen Fog reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Downtown (LRV 33) reflects noticeably more light than Evergreen Fog (LRV 30), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Downtown runs red while Evergreen Fog is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
