Evergreen Fog vs Threshold Taupe
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Hue-wise, Evergreen Fog belongs to the green-grey family and Threshold Taupe to the beige-greige family. At LRV 34 vs 30, Threshold Taupe will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Evergreen Fog's neutral character against Threshold Taupe's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 8.7, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 6 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Evergreen Fog vs Threshold Taupe in Real Spaces
6 real rooms side by side. Evergreen Fog and Threshold Taupe 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
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Threshold Taupe has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The brightness difference is modest but present — Threshold Taupe gives the walls a little more lift.
Home Office
In a home office, wall color sits in your peripheral vision for hours at a time, so temperature and undertone matter more than you might expect. The brightness difference is modest but present — Threshold Taupe gives the walls a little more lift.
House
At full exterior scale, the difference between these two colors becomes much easier to judge than from a small chip. The brightness difference is modest but present — Threshold Taupe gives the walls a little more lift.
Front Door
Front doors are seen in isolation against the rest of the facade, which makes them a high-stakes surface where even subtle differences matter. Threshold Taupe has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Kitchen Cabinets
On cabinetry, undertone and temperature become more pronounced against countertops and hardware. The brightness difference is modest but present — Threshold Taupe gives the walls a little more lift.

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