Ice Fog vs Mystic Lake
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Ice Fog belongs to the green-grey family and Mystic Lake to the blue-grey family. Ice Fog (LRV 71) reflects noticeably more light than Mystic Lake (LRV 33), a difference of 37 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Ice Fog runs green while Mystic Lake is decidedly green and blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 25.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
