Evergreen Fog
Sherwin-Williams
SW 9130
Evergreen Fog, Sherwin-Williams' 2022 Color of the Year, is a muted green-gray with a soft, organic character that helped drive the sage cabinetry wave. It reads green without being leafy, gray without being dull, and it flatters brass, walnut, and unlacquered finishes. Kitchen islands, bathroom vanities, and studies are its natural habitat, with Pewter Green as the deeper alternative.

What is the Benjamin Moore equivalent of Evergreen Fog?
The closest Benjamin Moore match for Evergreen Fog is Arctic Shadows 1559 (#9A9A8E). No cross-brand match is exact, because each brand mixes its own pigment formulas. Always confirm with a physical sample before specifying a substitute.
Is Evergreen Fog warm or cool?
Evergreen Fog reads as a balanced green-gray with a slightly warm, earthy base. The gray mutes the green enough that it behaves almost like a neutral. At an LRV of approximately 30, it is a true mid-tone: visible color in bright rooms, noticeably moodier in low light. It pairs comfortably with both warm whites like Alabaster and natural wood, which is part of why it became a cabinetry default.
Why does Evergreen Fog look different on screen than on the wall?
Screens emit light while paint reflects it, so a hex code cannot capture how lighting, sheen, and surrounding colors shift paint in a real room. Treat #95978A as accurate for digital design work, and use physical samples for final approval.
What LRV does Evergreen Fog have?
Evergreen Fog has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 30, meaning it reflects about 30% of visible light. That mid-range depth reads as a true color on the wall without going dark.
