Storm vs Evergreen Fog
Where Storm belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Evergreen Fog is a Sherwin-Williams color. Hue-wise, Storm belongs to the grey family and Evergreen Fog to the green-grey family. Storm (LRV 36) reflects noticeably more light than Evergreen Fog (LRV 30), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Storm runs green while Evergreen Fog is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Storm vs Evergreen Fog in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Storm 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
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 brightness difference is modest but present — Storm gives the walls a little more lift.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Storm reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
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. Storm reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are constantly compared against adjacent materials, which means subtle differences between these two become much more visible. Storm reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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.
