Blue Ice vs Upper West Side
Blue Ice and Upper West Side come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Blue Ice reads as blue, while Upper West Side reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 20-point LRV gap — 59 for Blue Ice vs 39 for Upper West Side — means Blue Ice will open up a space more effectively. Where Blue Ice leans blue, Upper West Side reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 22.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
