Opal green vs Shoji White

Opal greenRAL ClassicvsShoji WhiteSherwin-WilliamsΔE 61.1Very different colors

Opal green (RAL Classic) and Shoji White (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Opal green reads as blue-green, while Shoji White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 64-point LRV gap — 74 for Shoji White vs 11 for Opal green — means Shoji White will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 61.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Kitchen Cabinets

Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. Shoji White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
