Sea Foam vs Shoji White
Where Sea Foam belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Shoji White is a Sherwin-Williams color. Hue-wise, Sea Foam belongs to the green family and Shoji White to the beige-greige family. Sea Foam (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Shoji White (LRV 74), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sea Foam runs green while Shoji White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Sea Foam vs Shoji White in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Sea Foam and Shoji White are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
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 Sea Foam will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Shoji White would.

Sea Foam vs Shoji White Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Sea Foam 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.
