More about Shoji White
Shoji White is one of Sherwin-Williams' most-used warm off-whites — at LRV 74 it's the in-between people reach for when a true white feels too cold and a greige feels too gray. It has a soft, warm linen quality that flatters cabinetry, trim, and whole rooms, and it's a natural partner for the warm-greige walls that replaced the gray era.
Because it's warm, it can read slightly creamy beside a stark white, so keep the whites in a room consistent. It's most forgiving in soft, natural light. Behr Crisp Linen is a near-identical cross-brand match, with Benjamin Moore Etiquette close behind.
