Moon Shadow vs Evergreen Fog

Where Moon Shadow belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Evergreen Fog is a Sherwin-Williams color. Moon Shadow reads as beige-greige, while Evergreen Fog reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Moon Shadow (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Evergreen Fog (LRV 30), a difference of 27 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Moon Shadow runs yellow while Evergreen Fog is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 19.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.

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