The 34-point LRV gap — 90 for Simply White vs 55 for Ice Formations — means Simply White will open up a space more effectively. Where Ice Formations leans warm, Simply White reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 17.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
