Kangaroo vs Shoji White
Kangaroo (PPG) and Shoji White (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Kangaroo reads as beige, while Shoji White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 32-point LRV gap — 74 for Shoji White vs 42 for Kangaroo — means Shoji White will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 20.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Kangaroo vs Shoji White Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Kangaroo on one side and Shoji White on the other.
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.
