Sabre Gray vs Evergreen Fog
Sabre Gray (Benjamin Moore) and Evergreen Fog (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. The 8-point LRV gap — 38 for Sabre Gray vs 30 for Evergreen Fog — means Sabre Gray will open up a space more effectively. Where Sabre Gray leans green, Evergreen Fog reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 6.5 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.
Sabre Gray vs Evergreen Fog in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Sabre Gray 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.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Sabre Gray has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Sabre Gray 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. Sabre Gray has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

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