Greens vs Shoji White

GreensSherwin-WilliamsvsShoji WhiteSherwin-WilliamsΔE 62.3Very different colors

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Greens reads as green, while Shoji White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Shoji White (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Greens (LRV 10), a difference of 64 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Greens runs cool while Shoji White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 62.3, 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.
