Ivory TowerBenjamin MoorevsSnowboundSherwin-WilliamsΔE 5.9Noticeable difference

Ivory Tower is a Benjamin Moore color while Snowbound comes from Sherwin-Williams. Hue-wise, Ivory Tower belongs to the beige family and Snowbound to the beige-greige family. At LRV 86 vs 83, Ivory Tower will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Ivory Tower's red character against Snowbound's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 5.9, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

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.
