Icy vs Original White

Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Icy reads as blue, while Original White reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 74 vs 56, Original White will read as the brighter of the two — a 17-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Icy's cool character against Original White's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 12.9, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
