Purple Haze vs Evergreen Fog

Purple Haze (Benjamin Moore) and Evergreen Fog (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Purple Haze reads as blue-grey, while Evergreen Fog reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 7-point LRV gap — 30 for Evergreen Fog vs 23 for Purple Haze — means Evergreen Fog will open up a space more effectively. Where Purple Haze leans cool, Evergreen Fog reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 20.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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. 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.
