ClearlakeBenjamin MoorevsShoji WhiteSherwin-WilliamsΔE 28.3Very different colors

Where Clearlake belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Shoji White is a Sherwin-Williams color. Clearlake reads as blue, while Shoji White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Shoji White (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Clearlake (LRV 54), a difference of 20 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Clearlake runs blue while Shoji White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 28.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.
