Golden Hour vs Evergreen Fog

Golden HourPPGvsEvergreen FogSherwin-WilliamsΔE 57.1Very different colors

Golden Hour (PPG) and Evergreen Fog (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Golden Hour belongs to the beige-yellow family and Evergreen Fog to the green-grey family. The 22-point LRV gap — 52 for Golden Hour vs 30 for Evergreen Fog — means Golden Hour will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 57.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
