Soft Touch (LRV 64) reflects noticeably more light than Evergreen Fog (LRV 30), a difference of 34 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Soft Touch 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 22.7, the contrast is hard to miss.

Digital color is approximate.
