Ice Blue vs Pure White
Ice Blue is a PPG color while Pure White comes from Sherwin-Williams. Ice Blue reads as blue-green, while Pure White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 83 and 84, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 4.7, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. 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.
