Gray Cloud vs Shoji White
Where Gray Cloud belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Shoji White is a Sherwin-Williams color. Gray Cloud reads as blue-grey, while Shoji White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Shoji White (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Gray Cloud (LRV 70), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Gray Cloud runs blue while Shoji White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Gray Cloud vs Shoji White in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Gray Cloud and Shoji White are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Bathroom

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.
