Night Train vs Evergreen Fog
Night Train (Benjamin Moore) and Evergreen Fog (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Night Train reads as grey, while Evergreen Fog reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 8-point LRV gap — 30 for Evergreen Fog vs 23 for Night Train — means Evergreen Fog will open up a space more effectively. Where Night Train leans green, Evergreen Fog reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 9.4 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Night Train vs Evergreen Fog in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Night Train and Evergreen Fog are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Evergreen Fog reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
House
A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. Evergreen Fog has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. Evergreen Fog has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Night Train vs Evergreen Fog Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Night Train 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.
