Polar Ice vs RAL 190-5
Where Polar Ice belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 190-5 is a RAL Effect color. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (74 vs 75), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 1.3, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Polar Ice vs RAL 190-5 Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Polar Ice on one side and RAL 190-5 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.
