Atlantis vs Thames Fog
Atlantis (Cloverdale Paint) and Thames Fog (Valspar) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Atlantis belongs to the green-grey family and Thames Fog to the grey family. The 8-point LRV gap — 36 for Atlantis vs 27 for Thames Fog — means Atlantis will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 9.3 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Atlantis vs Thames Fog in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Atlantis and Thames 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
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Atlantis reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Thames Fog.
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. Atlantis returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The LRV gap is large enough that Atlantis will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Thames Fog would.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Atlantis returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Atlantis vs Thames Fog Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Atlantis on one side and Thames 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.
