Benjamin Moore

Icicle

2142-70 / OC-60

Icicle is a soft white with muted gray undertones that keep it from appearing stark or cold. With an LRV of 82.04, this color reflects substantial light and works as a wall color or trim in spaces requiring brightness and neutrality. The gray undertone prevents the white from looking too clinical.

Icicle pairs with Benjamin Moore Nimbus Gray for walls when used as trim, Hale Navy for contrast, Black Forest Green for depth, Silver Marlin for a tonal scheme, and Gray Owl as a complementary neutral throughout adjacent spaces.
