Evergreen Fog vs Taupe Tone
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Evergreen Fog belongs to the green-grey family and Taupe Tone to the beige-greige family. Taupe Tone (LRV 36) reflects noticeably more light than Evergreen Fog (LRV 30), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Evergreen Fog runs neutral while Taupe Tone is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
