Adagio vs Shoji White

AdagioBenjamin MoorevsShoji WhiteSherwin-WilliamsΔE 22.4Distinct difference

Adagio is a Benjamin Moore color while Shoji White comes from Sherwin-Williams. Adagio reads as grey, while Shoji White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 74 vs 39, Shoji White will read as the brighter of the two — a 35-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Adagio's blue character against Shoji White's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 22.4, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
