Where White Sesame belongs to Sherwin-Williams's range, Tofu is a Tikkurila color. White Sesame reads as beige-white, while Tofu reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (71 vs 73), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 1.5, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
