Sherwin Williams

Ice Cube

SW 6252

Ice Cube is a cool white with a blue-gray undertone and an LRV of 77. It reads as a crisp, lightly tinted white that leans distinctly cool, particularly under natural north-facing light. This color works effectively on walls in kitchens, bathrooms, and contemporary living spaces where a clean, modern backdrop is needed.

It also performs well as a trim color against medium-toned walls. Coordinate with Sherwin-Williams Lazy Gray, Online, Agreeable Gray, Ceiling Bright White, and Steely Gray for tonal harmony.

Ice Cube 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.
