Evening Shadow vs Ice Cube
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Evening Shadow reads as grey, while Ice Cube reads as green-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 77 vs 60, Ice Cube will read as the brighter of the two — a 17-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a neutral quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 8.9, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Evening Shadow vs Ice Cube in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Evening Shadow and Ice Cube 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.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Ice Cube returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Ice Cube will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Evening Shadow would.

Digital color is approximate.
