Evergreen Fog (LRV 30) reflects noticeably more light than Organic Red (LRV 22), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Organic Red 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 16.3, the contrast is hard to miss.
