Ice Cap vs Oystershell
Both are Benjamin Moore colors. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. With LRVs of 67 and 68, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Ice Cap's green character against Oystershell's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 0.9, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Ice Cap on one side and Oystershell 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.
