Thin Ice vs Grey white
Thin Ice is a PPG color while Grey white comes from RAL Classic. Thin Ice reads as grey, while Grey white reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 70 vs 67, Thin Ice will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 5.5, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Thin Ice vs Grey white in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Thin Ice and Grey white are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
House
At full exterior scale, the difference between these two colors becomes much easier to judge than from a small chip. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.

Thin Ice vs Grey white Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Thin Ice on one side and Grey white 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.
