Snowfall White vs Spearmint Ice paint color comparison

Snowfall White vs Spearmint Ice

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Snowfall White belongs to the white-yellow family and Spearmint Ice to the green family. Snowfall White (LRV 90) reflects noticeably more light than Spearmint Ice (LRV 78), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Snowfall White runs yellow while Spearmint Ice is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 10.3, 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.
