Perennial Green vs Shoji White
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Perennial Green 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 Perennial Green (LRV NaN), a difference of NaN points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Perennial Green 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 NaN, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
