Icicle vs Shoji White
Icicle (Benjamin Moore) and Shoji White (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. The 8-point LRV gap — 82 for Icicle vs 74 for Shoji White — means Icicle will open up a space more effectively. Where Icicle leans yellow, Shoji White reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 5.2 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Icicle vs Shoji White Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Icicle on one side and Shoji White on the other.
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.
