LycheeBenjamin MoorevsShoji WhiteSherwin-WilliamsΔE 5.1Noticeable difference

Lychee is a Benjamin Moore color while Shoji White comes from Sherwin-Williams. Lychee reads as beige, while Shoji White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 81 vs 74, Lychee will read as the brighter of the two — a 7-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Lychee's red character against Shoji White's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 5.1, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. 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. 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.
