Egg White vs Shoji White
Where Egg White belongs to Jotun's range, Shoji White is a Sherwin-Williams color. Egg White reads as beige-white, while Shoji White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Egg White (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Shoji White (LRV 74), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 5.0 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.
Egg White vs Shoji White in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Egg 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 Egg White will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Shoji White would.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Egg White reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Shoji White.
