Ancient Marble vs Evergreen Fog

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Ancient Marble reads as beige-greige, while Evergreen Fog reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Ancient Marble (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than Evergreen Fog (LRV 30), a difference of 30 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Ancient Marble runs warm while Evergreen Fog is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 20.4, 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 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
