Mental NotePPGvsEvergreen FogSherwin-WilliamsΔE 31.5Very different colors

Mental Note reads as yellow, while Evergreen Fog reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
