Ice Fog vs Tranquil Dawn
Where Ice Fog belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Tranquil Dawn is a Dulux color. Both sit in the green-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Ice Fog (LRV 71) reflects noticeably more light than Tranquil Dawn (LRV 55), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Ice Fog runs green while Tranquil Dawn is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 10.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Ice Fog vs Tranquil Dawn in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Seeing Ice Fog and Tranquil Dawn in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Ice Fog will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Tranquil Dawn would.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Ice Fog on one side and Tranquil Dawn 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.
