Benjamin Moore

Polar Ice

1660

Polar Ice by Benjamin Moore is a cool, crisp blue with icy undertones and an LRV of 73.66. Its high reflectance amplifies natural light, making it functional in rooms where brightness and openness are priorities. The cool blue base reads cleanly without heavy gray or green shifts, aligning it with modern, coastal, and Scandinavian-influenced interiors.

It works well in bathrooms, bedrooms, and open living areas. Pairing it with White Dove or Classic Gray provides neutral contrast, while Hale Navy or Stormy Monday introduce depth. Whispering Spring and Silver Mist offer analogous cool tones for a unified scheme.

Polar Ice in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
