Tara vs Evergreen Fog
Where Tara belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Evergreen Fog is a Sherwin-Williams color. Tara reads as pink-red, while Evergreen Fog reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Tara (LRV 53) reflects noticeably more light than Evergreen Fog (LRV 30), a difference of 23 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Tara runs red while Evergreen Fog is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 27.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
