Blue Spruce vs Ice Formations

Blue SpruceBenjamin MoorevsIce FormationsBenjamin MooreΔE 36.5 — Very different colors

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Hue-wise, Blue Spruce belongs to the blue-grey family and Ice Formations to the beige-greige family. At LRV 55 vs 17, Ice Formations will read as the brighter of the two — a 38-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Blue Spruce's blue character against Ice Formations's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 36.5, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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.
