Syrian VioletPPGvsEvergreen FogSherwin-WilliamsΔE 31.3Very different colors

Syrian Violet (PPG) and Evergreen Fog (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Syrian Violet reads as purple, while Evergreen Fog reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 34-point LRV gap — 64 for Syrian Violet vs 30 for Evergreen Fog — means Syrian Violet will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 31.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Digital color is approximate.

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