Winter Ice vs Iron Ore
Winter Ice (Benjamin Moore) and Iron Ore (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Winter Ice belongs to the blue family and Iron Ore to the grey family. The 70-point LRV gap — 75 for Winter Ice vs 6 for Iron Ore — means Winter Ice will open up a space more effectively. Where Winter Ice leans green and blue, Iron Ore reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 61.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
