Valspar

Icy

V108-1

Icy is a cool light blue-gray with a watery undertone. It stays pale. Use it where white feels too blank, such as a bath, laundry room, or ceiling.

The color will show more blue beside cream trim and less beside crisp white. Its comfortable lightness works in small rooms. Warm wood or woven shades keep it from feeling clinical. Test in north light before using it widely.

Icy 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.
