Shoji White vs Swimming
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Shoji White reads as beige-greige, while Swimming reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 74 and 73, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Shoji White's warm character against Swimming's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 15.8, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
