Aquarium Blue vs Ice Mist
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Aquarium Blue reads as blue, while Ice Mist reads as green-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Ice Mist (LRV 89) reflects noticeably more light than Aquarium Blue (LRV 48), a difference of 41 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Aquarium Blue runs blue while Ice Mist is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 31.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
