Dusted Truffle vs Shoji White

Dusted Truffle and Shoji White come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 50-point LRV gap — 74 for Shoji White vs 25 for Dusted Truffle — means Shoji White will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 33.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 10 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Dusted Truffle vs Shoji White in Real Spaces

10 real rooms side by side. Seeing Dusted Truffle and Shoji White in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.

Living Room

Bedroom

Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Shoji White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Kitchen

Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Shoji White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
