So Sublime vs Evergreen Fog

So SublimePPGvsEvergreen FogSherwin-WilliamsΔE 7.9Noticeable difference

Where So Sublime belongs to PPG's range, Evergreen Fog is a Sherwin-Williams color. So Sublime reads as grey, while Evergreen Fog reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Evergreen Fog (LRV 30) reflects noticeably more light than So Sublime (LRV 24), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 7.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 7 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

So Sublime vs Evergreen Fog in Real Spaces

7 real rooms side by side. So Sublime and Evergreen Fog are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

Living Room

In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Evergreen Fog gives the walls a little more lift.
