Ice Mist vs Surf Green
Ice Mist and Surf Green come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Ice Mist belongs to the green-white family and Surf Green to the green family. The 12-point LRV gap — 89 for Ice Mist vs 76 for Surf Green — means Ice Mist will open up a space more effectively. Where Ice Mist leans neutral, Surf Green reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 14.8 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.
