Frayed Hessian 2 vs Shoji White
Where Frayed Hessian 2 belongs to Dulux's range, Shoji White is a Sherwin-Williams color. Frayed Hessian 2 reads as beige, while Shoji White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (75 vs 74), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 3.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Frayed Hessian 2 vs Shoji White in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Frayed Hessian 2 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.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. The distinction reads clearly at room scale, making the choice between them concrete.
Mudroom
Mudrooms are seen in passing, often under whatever light comes through the door — a context that favors colors with some depth. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

Frayed Hessian 2 vs Shoji White Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Frayed Hessian 2 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.
