Jotun
·
Sherwin-Williams

Where Arctic Grey belongs to Jotun's range, Evergreen Fog is a Sherwin-Williams color. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (32 vs 30), so they'll read as similarly medium in most lighting conditions. Both lean neutral, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 9.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.

Arctic Grey vs Evergreen Fog in Real Spaces

Arctic Grey and Evergreen Fog are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone. These real-room photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions. Showing 5 room types where both colors have photos.

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.
