Nether Red vs Evergreen Fog

Nether Red is a Little Greene color while Evergreen Fog comes from Sherwin-Williams. Nether Red reads as grey-red, while Evergreen Fog reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 30 vs 20, Evergreen Fog will read as the brighter of the two — a 10-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Nether Red's red character against Evergreen Fog's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 16.9, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
