Antimony vs Shoji White
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Hue-wise, Antimony belongs to the grey family and Shoji White to the beige-greige family. At LRV 74 vs 57, Shoji White will read as the brighter of the two — a 17-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Antimony's neutral character against Shoji White's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 9.5, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 10 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Antimony vs Shoji White in Real Spaces
10 real rooms side by side. Antimony and Shoji White are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Shoji White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Shoji White will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Antimony would.
Kitchen
Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The LRV gap is large enough that Shoji White will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Antimony would.
Dining Room
Dining room light is typically the warmest in the house, which shifts both colors toward the red end of the spectrum compared to daylight. Shoji White reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Antimony.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Shoji White will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Antimony would.
Home Office
In a home office, wall color sits in your peripheral vision for hours at a time, so temperature and undertone matter more than you might expect. The LRV gap is large enough that Shoji White will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Antimony would.
Mudroom
A mudroom color needs to hold up under the most casual scrutiny: a glance as you're coming and going, often in mixed or artificial light. Shoji White reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Antimony.
Patio
Patio colors are seen under changing outdoor light throughout the day — morning, midday, and golden hour each reveal different qualities. Shoji White reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Antimony.
House
At full exterior scale, the difference between these two colors becomes much easier to judge than from a small chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Shoji White will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Antimony would.
Front Door
Front doors are seen in isolation against the rest of the facade, which makes them a high-stakes surface where even subtle differences matter. Shoji White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Antimony vs Shoji White Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Antimony 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.
