Dill vs Evergreen Fog
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Dill reads as green-yellow, while Evergreen Fog reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Evergreen Fog (LRV 30) reflects noticeably more light than Dill (LRV 24), a difference of 6 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 20.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Evergreen Fog gives the walls a little more lift.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Evergreen Fog reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

Digital color is approximate.

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