Shoji White (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Aquamarine - Mid (LRV 64), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light.

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. Shoji White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
