Concrete grey vs Evergreen Fog in Real Spaces

3 real rooms side by side. Concrete grey 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.

Kitchen

Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Evergreen Fog has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

House

A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. Evergreen Fog has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Digital color is approximate.

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