Espresso vs Evergreen Fog
Where Espresso belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Evergreen Fog is a Sherwin-Williams color. Espresso reads as beige-pink, while Evergreen Fog reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Evergreen Fog (LRV 30) reflects noticeably more light than Espresso (LRV 13), a difference of 18 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Espresso runs red while Evergreen Fog is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 29.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
