Basque Green vs Evergreen Fog
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Basque Green reads as beige-green, while Evergreen Fog reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Evergreen Fog (LRV 30) reflects noticeably more light than Basque Green (LRV 11), a difference of 19 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean neutral, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 29.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate.
