Sandy vs Evergreen Fog
Sandy (Jotun) and Evergreen Fog (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Sandy reads as beige-greige, while Evergreen Fog reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 30 vs 30 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Sandy leans warm, Evergreen Fog reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 10.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Sandy vs Evergreen Fog in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Seeing Sandy and Evergreen Fog in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Sandy brings more warmth to the space, while Evergreen Fog keeps things cooler and crisper.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Evergreen Fog reads more restrained here, while Sandy adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Evergreen Fog reads more restrained here, while Sandy adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Sandy on one side and Evergreen Fog on the other.
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.
