Evergreen Fog: The Green Paint Color Buyers Are Loving Right Now

When it comes to choosing the perfect interior paint color, green is having a major moment—and one shade continues to stand out for all the right reasons.

I recently had a buyer move into a home here in Colorado Springs with Sherwin-Williams’ Evergreen Fog (SW 9130) painted throughout the kitchen, and it is absolutely stunning. The color brings a soft, earthy elegance to the space and works beautifully with the home’s oak trim and cabinetry. Instead of competing with the wood’s natural warmth, Evergreen Fog complements it, creating a rich, timeless feel that’s both current and cozy.

This isn’t just a passing trend. Evergreen Fog was named Sherwin-Williams’ Color of the Year and remains one of the most requested paint colors for kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas. It strikes that perfect balance between fresh and grounded, modern and classic.

Why Evergreen Fog Works So Well:

• Complements warm wood tones like oak and maple

• Soft enough to act as a neutral, but with character

• Adds depth without making a room feel dark

• Works across a wide variety of design styles

Other Top Interior Green Paint Colors in 2025:

If you love the look of Evergreen Fog, here are several other designer-approved greens worth considering:

• Benjamin Moore – October Mist (1495): A soft sage with gray undertones. Calm and elegant.

• Farrow & Ball – Green Smoke (No. 47): A deep, moody blue-green that feels rich and cozy.

• Behr – Sage Green (N390-2): Light and classic. Works well in kitchens and bedrooms.

• Benjamin Moore – Saybrook Sage (HC-114): Earthy, historic, and beautifully traditional.

• Sherwin-Williams – Clary Sage (SW 6178): A warmer green with subtle yellow undertones.

• Farrow & Ball – Breakfast Room Green (No. 81): A brighter, more vibrant mid-tone green.

• Benjamin Moore – Backwoods (469): A dramatic forest green great for accent walls and cabinetry.

And My Personal Favorite...

I’m especially drawn to Benjamin Moore’s Cushing Green (HC-125), a classic, deeply saturated green with just the right touch of formality. It’s elegant without being too dark, and it plays beautifully with brass accents, warm woods, and creamy whites. This may just be the color I choose to paint the ceiling in my own office and dining room...it’s that good.

Should You Repaint Before Selling?

If you’re preparing to sell and your walls need a refresh, a well-chosen paint color like Evergreen Fog or October Mist can go a long way. These greens are especially effective in Colorado Springs homes with wood accents or views of the outdoors. They bring in a natural, calming element that resonates with today’s buyers.

And if you’ve just moved in and want to bring new life to your space, these green tones offer a great way to blend classic architecture with modern color trends.
