Kokos vs Evergreen Fog

KokosJotunvsEvergreen FogSherwin-WilliamsΔE 26.4Very different colors

Where Kokos belongs to Jotun's range, Evergreen Fog is a Sherwin-Williams color. Kokos reads as beige-greige, while Evergreen Fog reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Kokos (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Evergreen Fog (LRV 30), a difference of 42 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Kokos runs warm while Evergreen Fog is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 26.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Digital color is approximate.
