The undertone of Sherwin Williams Shoji White is a green beige greige. It's important to note that SW Shoji White is a creamy beige. The yellow undertones are pronounced, but it's not a cream or yellow paint color. 

 

 

The LRV of SW Shoji White is 74. It's a light creamy beige neutral, but please don't choose this paint color based on the LRV.

SW Shoji White Disadvantages You Need To Know


 

  1. SW Shoji White doesn't pair well with espresso brown kitchen cabinets as it tends to look too clean and yellow, especially if the kitchen doesn't have proper lighting.
  2. Lighting will play a key role in how SW Shoji White could look like in your home. If your home is north facing, has a lot of shade from surrounding trees, or doesn't have the proper spacing of artificial lighting, then don't be surprised if you see a pronounced green undertone. 
  3. Be careful when pairing SW Shoji White on the exterior of your home if you have earthy, muted fixed elements, for example, stone with orange beige, brown, and or muted taupe undertones. SW Shoji White can look too clean, fall flat, and appear too yellow when paired with exterior stones that are earthy and muted.  
  4. If you have LVP or engineered flooring that leans on the cool gray side of color, then be mindful that SW Shoji White will make the gray flooring more gray, and SW Shoji White will look creamier than it really is.
