Icy Bay vs Pure White
Where Icy Bay belongs to PPG's range, Pure White is a Sherwin-Williams color. Icy Bay reads as green-white, while Pure White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Pure White (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Icy Bay (LRV 78), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
