Heavenly White vs Iceberg
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Heavenly White reads as greige-white, while Iceberg reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Heavenly White (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Iceberg (LRV 76), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Heavenly White runs warm while Iceberg is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Heavenly White vs Iceberg in Real Spaces

Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Heavenly White reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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.
