Icicle vs Snowbound
Icicle (PPG) and Snowbound (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Icicle reads as green, while Snowbound reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 5-point LRV gap — 83 for Snowbound vs 78 for Icicle — means Snowbound will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 5.3 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Icicle vs Snowbound Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Icicle on one side and Snowbound 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.
