Best Beige vs Shoji White

Best BeigePPGvsShoji WhiteSherwin-WilliamsΔE 16.9Distinct difference

Where Best Beige belongs to PPG's range, Shoji White is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Shoji White (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Best Beige (LRV 46), a difference of 28 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 16.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
