Adrift vs Evergreen Fog

AdriftSherwin-WilliamsvsEvergreen FogSherwin-WilliamsΔE 19.7Distinct difference

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Adrift reads as blue, while Evergreen Fog reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Adrift (LRV 37) reflects noticeably more light than Evergreen Fog (LRV 30), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Adrift runs cool while Evergreen Fog is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 19.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

House

Seen across an entire facade, subtle tonal differences become pronounced. What reads as nearly the same on a chip often reads as clearly different at scale. Adrift reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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.
