Quartz vs Evergreen Fog
Quartz is a Cloverdale Paint color while Evergreen Fog comes from Sherwin-Williams. Quartz reads as beige-greige, while Evergreen Fog reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 70 vs 30, Quartz will read as the brighter of the two — a 40-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 25.5, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Quartz vs Evergreen Fog in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Seeing Quartz 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
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Quartz returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Quartz will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Evergreen Fog would.
Kitchen
Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The LRV gap is large enough that Quartz will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Evergreen Fog would.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Quartz will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Evergreen Fog would.

Quartz vs Evergreen Fog Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Quartz on one side and Evergreen Fog on the other.
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.
