Boothbay Gray vs Iced Marble
Boothbay Gray and Iced Marble come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Boothbay Gray belongs to the blue-green family and Iced Marble to the green-grey family. The 4-point LRV gap — 47 for Iced Marble vs 43 for Boothbay Gray — means Iced Marble will open up a space more effectively. Both share a green character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 3.3 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Boothbay Gray vs Iced Marble in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Boothbay Gray and Iced Marble are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
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. Iced Marble reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
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. Iced Marble has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Iced Marble has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Front Door
On a front door, the color is both the first and last thing you see — a context where even a modest tonal difference reads clearly. Iced Marble reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. Iced Marble has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Boothbay Gray on one side and Iced Marble on the other.
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.
