Ice Mist vs Pale Iris

Ice Mist and Pale Iris come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Ice Mist reads as green-white, while Pale Iris reads as pink-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 25-point LRV gap — 89 for Ice Mist vs 64 for Pale Iris — means Ice Mist will open up a space more effectively. Where Ice Mist leans green, Pale Iris reads purple — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 19.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
