Medieval Gold vs Evergreen Fog

Where Medieval Gold belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Evergreen Fog is a Sherwin-Williams color. Hue-wise, Medieval Gold belongs to the beige family and Evergreen Fog to the green-grey family. Evergreen Fog (LRV 30) reflects noticeably more light than Medieval Gold (LRV 25), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Medieval Gold 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 38.5, the contrast is hard to miss.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
