Spring Lilac vs Shoji White
Where Spring Lilac belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Shoji White is a Sherwin-Williams color. Spring Lilac reads as pink-purple, while Shoji White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Shoji White (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Spring Lilac (LRV 63), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Spring Lilac runs purple while Shoji White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 15.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
