Tangelo vs Shoji White
Where Tangelo belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Shoji White is a Sherwin-Williams color. Hue-wise, Tangelo belongs to the beige family and Shoji White to the beige-greige family. Shoji White (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Tangelo (LRV 45), a difference of 29 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Tangelo 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 67.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
