Shoji White
Sherwin-Williams
SW 7042
Shoji White lives on the border between warm white and pale greige, with a soft beige-gray undertone that gives walls a finished, organic quality. It has become a favorite in warm-minimalist and Japandi-leaning interiors, often run wall-to-trim in the same color at different sheens. It is the slightly grayer alternative to Greek Villa and pairs effortlessly with limestone, linen, and white oak.

What is the Benjamin Moore equivalent of Shoji White?

Is Shoji White warm or cool?
Shoji White is a warm off-white with a balancing touch of gray. The undertone is muted beige, occasionally flashing the faintest green-gray in cool light, which keeps it from ever reading yellow. At an LRV of approximately 74, it is softer than a true white and forgiving in bright sun. It suits rooms with abundant natural light where brighter whites glare, and it monochromes beautifully across walls and trim.
Why does Shoji White look different on screen than on the wall?
Screens emit light while paint reflects it, so a hex code cannot capture how lighting, sheen, and surrounding colors shift paint in a real room. Treat #E6DFD3 as accurate for digital design work, and use physical samples for final approval.
What LRV does Shoji White have?
Shoji White has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 74, meaning it reflects about 74% of visible light. That places it among lighter colors that keep rooms feeling open and bright.
