Graytint vs Shoji White

GraytintBenjamin MoorevsShoji WhiteSherwin-WilliamsΔE 6.9Noticeable difference

Where Graytint belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Shoji White is a Sherwin-Williams color. Graytint reads as grey, while Shoji White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Shoji White (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Graytint (LRV 69), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Graytint runs green while Shoji White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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.
