Sherwin Williams

Shoji White

SW 7042

Shoji White is a Sherwin-Williams warm white with greige undertones, meaning it carries a balanced blend of gray and beige beneath its white surface. With a hex value of #E6DFD3 and an LRV of 74, it reflects a high amount of light while maintaining warmth, which prevents the washed-out appearance common with cooler whites. It functions well as a whole-house white in rooms with moderate to abundant natural light.

Shoji White pairs naturally with Sherwin-Williams Accessible Beige for adjacent walls, Neutral Ground in open floor plans, Urbane Bronze for doors and accents, and Evergreen Fog for a muted contrast.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
