Iceberg vs Incense Stick
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Iceberg belongs to the blue-grey family and Incense Stick to the grey family. Iceberg (LRV 71) reflects noticeably more light than Incense Stick (LRV 8), a difference of 63 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Iceberg runs blue while Incense Stick is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 57.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
