Super White vs Shoji White
Where Super White belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Shoji White is a Sherwin-Williams color. Hue-wise, Super White belongs to the white family and Shoji White to the beige-greige family. Super White (LRV 87) reflects noticeably more light than Shoji White (LRV 74), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Super White runs green while Shoji White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Super White vs Shoji White in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Super White 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 Super White will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Shoji White would.
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. Super White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are constantly compared against adjacent materials, which means subtle differences between these two become much more visible. Super White reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Shoji White.

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.
