Delft vs Evergreen Fog
Delft and Evergreen Fog come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Delft reads as blue-grey, while Evergreen Fog reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 33 vs 30 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Delft leans cool, Evergreen Fog reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 10.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Delft 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.
