Jute vs Evergreen Fog
Where Jute belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Evergreen Fog is a Sherwin-Williams color. Hue-wise, Jute belongs to the beige-greige family and Evergreen Fog to the green-grey family. Jute (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than Evergreen Fog (LRV 30), a difference of 33 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Jute runs yellow and red while Evergreen Fog is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 22.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Jute vs Evergreen Fog in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Jute and Evergreen Fog in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Jute will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Evergreen Fog would.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Jute reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Evergreen Fog.

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.
