Ivory Lustre vs Shoji White
Ivory Lustre (Benjamin Moore) and Shoji White (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Ivory Lustre reads as beige, while Shoji White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 77 vs 74 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Ivory Lustre leans red, Shoji White reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 9.7 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
