Evergreen vs Artichoke

EvergreenJotunvsArtichokeSherwin-WilliamsΔE 7.2Noticeable difference

Where Evergreen belongs to Jotun's range, Artichoke is a Sherwin-Williams color. Hue-wise, Evergreen belongs to the green-greige family and Artichoke to the grey family. Artichoke (LRV 21) reflects noticeably more light than Evergreen (LRV 18), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Evergreen runs warm while Artichoke is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Bedroom

The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Artichoke reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
