Mocha vs Evergreen Fog in Real Spaces

4 real rooms side by side. Mocha 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. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
