Ice Flow vs Tender Green
Where Ice Flow belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Tender Green is a Jotun color. Ice Flow reads as grey, while Tender Green reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Ice Flow (LRV 55) reflects noticeably more light than Tender Green (LRV 51), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.7, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Ice Flow vs Tender Green in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Ice Flow and Tender Green are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Ice Flow gives the walls a little more lift.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Ice Flow reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Ice Flow reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

Ice Flow vs Tender Green Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Ice Flow on one side and Tender Green 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.
