Shoji White vs K488
Shoji White (Sherwin-Williams) and K488 (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Shoji White reads as beige-greige, while K488 reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 40-point LRV gap — 74 for Shoji White vs 34 for K488 — means Shoji White will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 25.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
