DoublesCloverdale PaintvsShoji WhiteSherwin-WilliamsΔE 54.7 — Very different colors

Doubles (Cloverdale Paint) and Shoji White (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Doubles belongs to the green family and Shoji White to the beige-greige family. The 65-point LRV gap — 74 for Shoji White vs 9 for Doubles — means Shoji White will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 54.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Doubles vs Shoji White in Real Spaces

5 real rooms side by side. Seeing Doubles and Shoji White in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.

Living Room

A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Shoji White reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Doubles.

Bedroom

Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. 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

Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Shoji White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Dining Room

Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The LRV gap is large enough that Shoji White will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Doubles would.

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.
