Icicle vs Salmon Mousse
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Icicle reads as beige-greige, while Salmon Mousse reads as beige-pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Icicle (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Salmon Mousse (LRV 42), a difference of 40 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Icicle runs warm while Salmon Mousse is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 31.4, 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.
