Caper vs Evergreen Fog

CaperCloverdale PaintvsEvergreen FogSherwin-WilliamsΔE 20.9Distinct difference

Caper (Cloverdale Paint) and Evergreen Fog (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. The 18-point LRV gap — 30 for Evergreen Fog vs 12 for Caper — means Evergreen Fog will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 20.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Caper vs Evergreen Fog in Real Spaces

4 real rooms side by side. Seeing Caper and Evergreen Fog in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.

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. Evergreen Fog reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Caper.

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

Kitchen

Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Evergreen Fog returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

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