Ice Cream Cone vs Iron Ore
Ice Cream Cone (PPG) and Iron Ore (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Ice Cream Cone reads as beige, while Iron Ore reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 58-point LRV gap — 64 for Ice Cream Cone vs 6 for Iron Ore — means Ice Cream Cone will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 57.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Ice Cream Cone on one side and Iron Ore 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.
