Dark Walnut vs Winter Ice

Dark Walnut and Winter Ice come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Dark Walnut belongs to the pink family and Winter Ice to the blue family. The 66-point LRV gap — 75 for Winter Ice vs 10 for Dark Walnut — means Winter Ice will open up a space more effectively. Where Dark Walnut leans red, Winter Ice reads green and blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 57.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
