Clean Green vs Evergreen Fog
Clean Green and Evergreen Fog come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Clean Green reads as green, while Evergreen Fog reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 30-point LRV gap — 61 for Clean Green vs 30 for Evergreen Fog — means Clean Green will open up a space more effectively. Where Clean Green leans cool, Evergreen Fog reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 32.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Clean Green vs Evergreen Fog in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Seeing Clean Green and Evergreen Fog in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Clean Green returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Clean Green returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Home Office
Home office walls matter more than most — you're looking at them all day, and a color that reads fine at first can become tiring over time. Clean Green returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Front Door
On a front door, the color is both the first and last thing you see — a context where even a modest tonal difference reads clearly. Clean Green reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Evergreen Fog.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Clean Green on one side and Evergreen Fog on the other.
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.
