Icicle vs Silent Ripple

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Icicle reads as blue-grey, while Silent Ripple reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (73 vs 74), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Icicle runs neutral while Silent Ripple is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.6, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
