Techile vs Evergreen Fog in Real Spaces

4 real rooms side by side. Techile 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. Techile reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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. Techile has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
