Canyon Clay vs Evergreen Fog

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Canyon Clay reads as pink, while Evergreen Fog reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Evergreen Fog (LRV 30) reflects noticeably more light than Canyon Clay (LRV 13), a difference of 18 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Canyon Clay 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 28.8, 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 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
