Evergreen Fog vs Olive Grove in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Seeing Evergreen Fog and Olive Grove in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Evergreen Fog reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Olive Grove.
Kitchen
