Vellum vs Evergreen Fog
Vellum (Cloverdale Paint) and Evergreen Fog (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Vellum reads as beige, while Evergreen Fog reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 36-point LRV gap — 66 for Vellum vs 30 for Evergreen Fog — means Vellum will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 24.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Vellum vs Evergreen Fog in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Seeing Vellum 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
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. Vellum 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. Vellum 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. Vellum 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. Vellum returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Vellum vs Evergreen Fog Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Vellum 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.
