Icicle vs Silver Lake

Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. At LRV 73 vs 53, Icicle will read as the brighter of the two — a 20-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Icicle's neutral character against Silver Lake's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 11.2, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
