Down vs Shoji White
Where Down belongs to Little Greene's range, Shoji White is a Sherwin-Williams color. Down reads as beige, while Shoji White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Down (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Shoji White (LRV 74), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Down runs red while Shoji White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
