Icy vs Napery

IcySherwin-WilliamsvsNaperySherwin-WilliamsΔE 24.9Distinct difference

Icy and Napery come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Icy reads as blue, while Napery reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 18-point LRV gap — 74 for Napery vs 56 for Icy — means Napery will open up a space more effectively. Where Icy leans cool, Napery reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 24.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
