Raccoon Hollow vs Shoji White
Where Raccoon Hollow belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Shoji White is a Sherwin-Williams color. Raccoon Hollow reads as greige-grey, while Shoji White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Shoji White (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Raccoon Hollow (LRV 29), a difference of 46 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Raccoon Hollow 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 28.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Raccoon Hollow vs Shoji White in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Seeing Raccoon Hollow and Shoji White in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Shoji White will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Raccoon Hollow would.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Shoji White reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Raccoon Hollow.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Shoji White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness 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.
