Avocado vs Evergreen Fog

Avocado and Evergreen Fog come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Avocado reads as beige-greige, while Evergreen Fog reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 10-point LRV gap — 30 for Evergreen Fog vs 20 for Avocado — means Evergreen Fog will open up a space more effectively. Where Avocado leans warm, Evergreen Fog reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 15.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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