Blue Ice vs Manila

Blue Ice and Manila come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Blue Ice belongs to the blue family and Manila to the beige family. The 9-point LRV gap — 68 for Manila vs 59 for Blue Ice — means Manila will open up a space more effectively. Where Blue Ice leans blue, Manila reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 36.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
