What 30 tells you about Evergreen Fog
The published LRV of Sherwin-Williams Evergreen Fog SW-9130 is 30. It describes light reflectance; it does not specify an undertone or predict the brightness of your room. Evergreen Fog has considerably more depth than a pale sage; its gray-green character can carry an architectural surface.
The choice beside oak cabinetry and woven upholstery
Oak and woven fabrics supply texture, leaving the painted green free to become the principal colored plane instead of another pattern.
Compare Evergreen Fog and Acacia Haze at equal size, first considering depth and then hue. A lighter blue, green or pink is still a colored surface. Use the LRV to organize the depth question without assuming that it measures saturation or predicts which hue the room will favor.
What the comparison can—and cannot—settle
Evergreen Fog has an LRV of 30; Sherwin-Williams Acacia Haze SW-9132 is 32. The difference is 2 points, with Acacia Haze returning more light under the reference measurement. Evergreen Fog mixes green and gray with a small blue influence in the manufacturer's description. The value measures reflectance, so it cannot by itself identify an undertone, a coating finish or the amount of illumination needed in the room. The daylight and evening-light checks covers that related choice.
Check a broad sample at the darkest end of the room; the gray-green needs sufficient light to retain its intended presence. Do not read LRV 30 as a percentage improvement in perceived room brightness. Make the decision with the board upright at the actual wall or cabinet position, including the least illuminated portion. The north-facing room assessment covers that related choice. Before ordering samples, compare room-planning features in the paint color visualizer roundup.
