Cloudburst vs Evergreen Fog

The ΔE 7.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Cloudburst vs Evergreen Fog in Real Spaces

4 real rooms side by side. Cloudburst and Evergreen 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

In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Cloudburst will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Evergreen Fog would.
