Nordic Sky vs Evergreen Fog

Nordic SkyDuluxvsEvergreen FogSherwin-WilliamsΔE 24.1Distinct difference

Nordic Sky (Dulux) and Evergreen Fog (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Nordic Sky reads as blue, while Evergreen Fog reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 10-point LRV gap — 40 for Nordic Sky vs 30 for Evergreen Fog — means Nordic Sky will open up a space more effectively. Where Nordic Sky leans cool, Evergreen Fog reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 24.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Kitchen

Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Nordic Sky returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
