Tea vs Evergreen Fog

TeaBenjamin MoorevsEvergreen FogSherwin-WilliamsΔE 43.4Very different colors

Tea (Benjamin Moore) and Evergreen Fog (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Tea reads as pink-red, while Evergreen Fog reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 20-point LRV gap — 30 for Evergreen Fog vs 10 for Tea — means Evergreen Fog will open up a space more effectively. Where Tea leans red, Evergreen Fog reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 43.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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 returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
