Marmalade vs Shoji White
Where Marmalade belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Shoji White is a Sherwin-Williams color. Hue-wise, Marmalade belongs to the beige family and Shoji White to the beige-greige family. Shoji White (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Marmalade (LRV 56), a difference of 18 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Marmalade runs red while Shoji White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 44.0, the contrast is hard to miss.

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.
