Ice Formations vs Seattle Mist

Ice Formations and Seattle Mist come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Ice Formations belongs to the beige-greige family and Seattle Mist to the greige-grey family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 55 vs 55 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Ice Formations leans warm, Seattle Mist reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 0.8 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.
