Brushed Aluminum vs Ice Formations
Brushed Aluminum and Ice Formations come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Brushed Aluminum reads as greige-grey, while Ice Formations reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 55 vs 55 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Brushed Aluminum leans yellow, Ice Formations reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 1.3 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Brushed Aluminum vs Ice Formations Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Brushed Aluminum on one side and Ice Formations 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.
