Autumn Sand vs Evergreen Fog

Where Autumn Sand belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Evergreen Fog is a Sherwin-Williams color. Autumn Sand reads as beige-greige, while Evergreen Fog reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Autumn Sand (LRV 37) reflects noticeably more light than Evergreen Fog (LRV 30), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 8.1 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.

Living Room
