Moonshine vs Evergreen Fog
Where Moonshine belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Evergreen Fog is a Sherwin-Williams color. Hue-wise, Moonshine belongs to the grey family and Evergreen Fog to the green-grey family. Moonshine (LRV 67) reflects noticeably more light than Evergreen Fog (LRV 30), a difference of 36 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Moonshine runs green and yellow while Evergreen Fog is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 24.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Moonshine vs Evergreen Fog in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Seeing Moonshine and Evergreen Fog in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Moonshine will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Evergreen Fog would.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Moonshine reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Evergreen Fog.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Moonshine reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Evergreen Fog.

Moonshine vs Evergreen Fog Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Moonshine on one side and Evergreen Fog on the other.
Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
