Elation vs Ice Cube
Elation and Ice Cube come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Elation reads as blue-grey, while Ice Cube reads as green-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 5-point LRV gap — 77 for Ice Cube vs 72 for Elation — means Ice Cube will open up a space more effectively. Where Elation leans cool, Ice Cube reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 6.8 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Elation vs Ice Cube in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Elation and Ice Cube 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
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Ice Cube reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

Elation vs Ice Cube Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Elation on one side and Ice Cube 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.
