Iceberg vs Snowbound
Where Iceberg belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Snowbound is a Sherwin-Williams color. Hue-wise, Iceberg belongs to the blue-grey family and Snowbound to the beige-greige family. Snowbound (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Iceberg (LRV 71), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Iceberg runs blue while Snowbound is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
