CitronFarrow & BallvsShoji WhiteSherwin-WilliamsΔE 40.8Very different colors

Citron (Farrow & Ball) and Shoji White (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Citron belongs to the beige family and Shoji White to the beige-greige family. The 10-point LRV gap — 74 for Shoji White vs 65 for Citron — means Shoji White will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways.

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.
