More about Evergreen Fog
Evergreen Fog is the color that signaled the shift away from gray — a soft, complex sage that sits between green, gray, and blue, which is exactly why Sherwin-Williams named it a Color of the Year. At LRV 30 it's a true mid-tone with real presence: enough depth to feel intentional on cabinetry, an accent wall, or a whole moody room, without going dark.
Its complexity is the thing to respect — it reads greener in some light and grayer in others, so sample it where it's going. It pairs beautifully with warm whites, brass, and natural wood. Behr Hunters Hollow is a near-identical cross-brand match, with Benjamin Moore Storm Cloud Gray close behind.
