Melting Glacier vs Mink Frost
Melting Glacier is a Cloverdale Paint color while Mink Frost comes from Valspar. Hue-wise, Melting Glacier belongs to the white family and Mink Frost to the beige-greige family. At LRV 85 vs 70, Melting Glacier will read as the brighter of the two — a 15-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 7.5, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Melting Glacier vs Mink Frost in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Melting Glacier and Mink Frost 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
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Melting Glacier returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Melting Glacier on one side and Mink Frost 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.
