Glacier Bay vs Snowfall
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Glacier Bay reads as greige-white, while Snowfall reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 75 and 73, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Glacier Bay's neutral character against Snowfall's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 1.5, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Glacier Bay vs Snowfall in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Glacier Bay and Snowfall 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
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Glacier Bay reads more restrained here, while Snowfall adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The temperature contrast between Snowfall and Glacier Bay is what sets these apart most in this context.

Glacier Bay vs Snowfall Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Glacier Bay on one side and Snowfall 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.
