Polar Ice vs Svalbard Sea
Polar Ice (Benjamin Moore) and Svalbard Sea (Jotun) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 4-point LRV gap — 74 for Polar Ice vs 69 for Svalbard Sea — means Polar Ice will open up a space more effectively. Where Polar Ice leans blue, Svalbard Sea reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 2.4 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Polar Ice on one side and Svalbard Sea on the other.
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.
