Moth Gray vs Shoji White
Moth Gray is a Behr color while Shoji White comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. At LRV 74 vs 66, Shoji White will read as the brighter of the two — a 9-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Moth Gray's red character against Shoji White's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 4.6, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Moth Gray vs Shoji White in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Moth Gray and Shoji White are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Shoji White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Kitchen
Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The LRV gap is large enough that Shoji White will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Moth Gray would.
Dining Room
Dining room light is typically the warmest in the house, which shifts both colors toward the red end of the spectrum compared to daylight. Shoji White reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Moth Gray.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
