Frozen in Time vs Iron Ore

Frozen in TimeBenjamin MoorevsIron OreSherwin-WilliamsΔE 28.5Very different colors

Where Frozen in Time belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Iron Ore is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Frozen in Time (LRV 25) reflects noticeably more light than Iron Ore (LRV 6), a difference of 19 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Frozen in Time runs red while Iron Ore is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 28.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
