Dolomite vs Evergreen Fog

Dolomite (Cloverdale Paint) and Evergreen Fog (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Dolomite reads as grey, while Evergreen Fog reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 9-point LRV gap — 40 for Dolomite vs 30 for Evergreen Fog — means Dolomite will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 8.3 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.

Dolomite vs Evergreen Fog in Real Spaces

4 real rooms side by side. Dolomite 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

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