Iced Slate vs Seattle Gray
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Iced Slate belongs to the blue family and Seattle Gray to the blue-grey family. Seattle Gray (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Iced Slate (LRV 58), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 8.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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.
