Landmark vs Shoji White

LandmarkSherwin-WilliamsvsShoji WhiteSherwin-WilliamsΔE 44.4 — Very different colors

Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Landmark reads as greige-grey, while Shoji White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 74 vs 15, Shoji White will read as the brighter of the two — a 60-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a warm quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 44.4, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 10 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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.
