Icy vs Krypton
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Icy belongs to the blue family and Krypton to the blue-grey family. Icy (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than Krypton (LRV 52), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 5.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Icy vs Krypton Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Icy on one side and Krypton 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.
