American AnthemPPGvsShoji WhiteSherwin-WilliamsΔE 36.8Very different colors

American Anthem (PPG) and Shoji White (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. American Anthem reads as blue, while Shoji White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 45-point LRV gap — 74 for Shoji White vs 29 for American Anthem — means Shoji White will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 36.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
