Ice Cap vs Pale Powder
Where Ice Cap belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Pale Powder is a Farrow & Ball color. Ice Cap reads as green-grey, while Pale Powder reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Pale Powder (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Ice Cap (LRV 67), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Ice Cap runs green while Pale Powder is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.3, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. 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.
