Gotham vs Icicle

GothamBenjamin MoorevsIcicleBenjamin MooreΔE 40.3 — Very different colors

Gotham and Icicle come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Gotham reads as grey, while Icicle reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 60-point LRV gap — 82 for Icicle vs 22 for Gotham — means Icicle will open up a space more effectively. Where Gotham leans red, Icicle reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 40.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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.
