Gypsum vs Ice Cube
Gypsum and Ice Cube come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Gypsum belongs to the white family and Ice Cube to the green-white family. The 5-point LRV gap — 82 for Gypsum vs 77 for Ice Cube — means Gypsum will open up a space more effectively. Both share a neutral character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 2.5 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Gypsum vs Ice Cube in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Gypsum 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. Gypsum reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

Gypsum vs Ice Cube Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Gypsum 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.
