Evergreen Fog vs Green Earth
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Evergreen Fog reads as green-grey, while Green Earth reads as green-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (30 vs 31), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Evergreen Fog runs neutral while Green Earth is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Evergreen Fog vs Green Earth in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Evergreen Fog and Green Earth are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
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 temperature contrast between Green Earth and Evergreen Fog is what sets these apart most in this context.
House
Seen across an entire facade, subtle tonal differences become pronounced. What reads as nearly the same on a chip often reads as clearly different at scale. Green Earth brings more warmth to the space, while Evergreen Fog keeps things cooler and crisper.
Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are constantly compared against adjacent materials, which means subtle differences between these two become much more visible. Green Earth brings more warmth to the space, while Evergreen Fog keeps things cooler and crisper.

Evergreen Fog vs Green Earth Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Evergreen Fog on one side and Green Earth 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.
