VulcanLittle GreenevsEvergreen FogSherwin-WilliamsΔE 26.4Very different colors

Vulcan (Little Greene) and Evergreen Fog (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Vulcan belongs to the grey family and Evergreen Fog to the green-grey family. The 21-point LRV gap — 30 for Evergreen Fog vs 9 for Vulcan — means Evergreen Fog will open up a space more effectively.

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.
