Frost Bite vs Medici Ivory
Frost Bite and Medici Ivory come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. The 6-point LRV gap — 88 for Frost Bite vs 82 for Medici Ivory — means Frost Bite will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 4.6 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

Frost Bite vs Medici Ivory in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Frost Bite and Medici Ivory 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. Frost Bite reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Frost Bite has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
